Apprenticed with Paolo Soleri at Arcosanti (north of Phoenix, AZ) in 1980 doing cement castings in stucco and cement wall building. In 1997 I took classes with Chuck James of Rocky Mountain Painting, Salt Lake City, UT. Chuck has done many historical decorative paint jobs through out the world. For 11 years I was in Hawaii doing residential wallcovering and large paint and commercial wallcovering jobs.
12+ years in various cities in California (Los Angeles, San Jose and Santa Rosa) primarily doing commercial vinyl wallcovering with the last 7 years concentrating on Venetian plaster, faux finishes, concrete and stucco repair. Wallcovering in the administration offices for the City of Beverly Hills.
A nursing home in Kailua, Hawaii. We renovated all the patient rooms and several offices. This was the first occupied nursing home to be renovated in the state of Hawaii. Commercial wall covering projects at various military bases including at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii and at other locations including Tripler Army Hospital, Ft.

Services
We can install residential prepasted paper and vinyl coated paper, untrimmed designer papers, grass cloth, wallpaper murals and commercial wallcovering. We have successfully installed Maya Romanoof, Knoll and Maharam textile wallcovering. Attention to detail is given to the seams or joints between the wallpaper pieces.
Lime Wash - Fine powdered limestone, marble dust, earth colarants or universal tinting colorants and water applied with a large brush. Similar to faux painted "color wash" but real plaster. Lime Wash can be troweled smooth and can be polished to a high gloss. Marmorino Veneziano is a plaster decoration used on walls.
An autumn colored cream base with a pearl texture from a photo of an 8" by 12" sample. Great for ceilings or walls above wainscoat or chair rail where light can reflect the pearlescent texture. We offer a variety of beautiful painted finishes: representations of marble, granite, oak, walnut. The portfolios are large real samples on board not grainy photographs.
For large jobs there is no finish like it. When you look in the container of multicolor paint you can see litte bits of different colors suspended in an acrylic binder. Sprayed on the wall the colors do not recombine. Walls can appear like seamless wallpaper wth no discernable pattern. All the multicolors we offer are spray applied water base interior wall finishes that combine visual complexity and depth.
