Home » Past Work » PRIVATE Commissions

MY FIRST ADVENTURE into the DECORATIVE Arts began with the PRIVATE client.

UNLIKE the PUBLIC assignment, the PRIVATE job frequently required on-site interaction with the homeowner. And, at times, needing to remain on location for several day or at times weeks.

HOWEVER, both PUBLIC and PRIVATE have the same working concerns that affect the success of finished areas. Extensive knowledge of all mediums and products considered and of course working experience.
