Hand-Painted Owl Runner

Here is a section of a custom-designed runner I painted for a client who sells Origami Owl Jewelry.  She uses it to display her products at jewelry parties.

Mural of a Mill Pond Scene in Centerport

I painted this  42" x 5' 6" mural  from my client's photograph of a beautiful section of Mill Pond in Centerport, NY.  It was painted on the wall in his Syosset store called Long Island Window Treatments.  This mural will be part of a window treatment display.

Persian-Inspired Design and Faux Finish

I combined two Persian designs to create this design that I painted in the four corners of the tray ceiling.  This design compliments the paisley motif the interior designer chose for the custom-made coverlet in this master bedroom.  The faux finish I created resembles Venetian plaster. 

Homes in Tuscany

This is a 2 foot by 3 foot mural I painted this summer inside an existing window frame in a newly renovated bathroom.  The scene was painted from a photograph of a gorgeous area in Italy.

Bluff Scene of a Whole-Room Mural

 Corner of the room you see first when entering the room

This segment of the mural captures the type of scenery often found in Rocky Point, NY, the hamlet I live in.  My client wanted close-up trees and distant water views to make her room feel more spacious  and peaceful.

Stissing Lake Marshland Painting

This marshland painting, which is 2 feet x 4 feet wide, features a beautiful area near Rhinebeck, NY.  By painting this canvas,  I wanted to capture the natural beauty and the tranquil quality of this magnificent place.

Our Stone Garden Shed

This is the first painting I've done of our stone shed with my lush cottage garden in the foreground.  I love this scene because it shows how all my flowers are vying for a taste of the sun.  My husband, Tom, built this beautiful 10'x10' solid stone shed with a working fireplace and a basement for the garden tools.  He used all found materials and side of the road windows.  He even hand-split the cedar wood shingles for the roof.

Natural Style Chinoiserie in a Foyer

I designed this accent wall in the foyer of a lovely Rocky Point house to reflect the owner's love of nature and colors that are found throughout her home.

Chinoiserie  is a Chinese style of decorative painting usually found on classic hand-painted wallpaper.

Portrait of an Afghan Hound

I will soon have a new category on my website called Pet Portraits featuring some of the custom canvases of dogs and horses I am painting for clients.  I love painting animals and capturing their personalities on canvas.  The expression in their eyes are so important.  I am happy to work from photographs taken by my customers but, I am also willing to photograph the pets myself if they are located on Long Island.  While working from these photos, I can alter the background or create a new setting for the portrait if one is needed. This portrait of an Afghan hound was painted from a photo taken of the dog next to the coast of the Long Island Sound which is just a block away from where the pet owner lives.  It was painted on a 22"x 24" canvas so it could be hung above the living room mantle.
  

Rocky Point Seaside Mural

These two scenes are part of a whole-room mural in a master bathroom in a Rocky Point house.  This mural captures some of the beautiful coastal scenery of  this quaint coastal village.  The homeowner wanted a mural that would cheer her in the winter when everything outside is cold and dormant.

Swordfish in an Underwater Bathroom

The whole bathroom, including the ceiling, is painted to create a complete underwater mural. 

Fairy Amidst the Hollyhocks

My clients selected Tinkerbell to cast her loving spell on their baby daughter's room.  This part of the mural is 4 ft. 6 in. wide by 8 ft. high.

Part of a Special Baby Nursery

This Winnie the Pooh and Friends Mural is part of a whole-wall mural in a fanciful baby girl's room.

This photo shows one corner of the little girl's room.  On the wall next to her bed are more butterflies hovering over tall flowers.

Snapshot of a Tile Mural (on my drafting table)

This tile mural on tumbled marble was later hung on a kitchen wall above a cook top.

Faux Finish in a Bathroom

In this bathroom is an example of a more textured looking faux finish which picks up a rich color found in some of the tiles.  My faux finishes hold up very well in bathrooms and are a great alternative to wallpaper.

Dog Portrait

I really enjoy painting pet portraits which I do on canvas.  This dog portrait is on an 18" x 24" canvas.

Segment of a Whole-Room Beach Mural

This is a segment of a whole-room beach mural I painted in a Long Island pediatrician's office.  I took artistic license by combining characters of fantasy with people and activities I drew from reality.
