Working with Abueg-Morris Architects I painted a customized yellow and green fade on the wall and ceiling behind the primary work area. I also constructed an assemblage screen with molinillo sticks and an assemblage box made with dried cholla cactus branches.

I helped Abeug-Morris Architects with the design of the imagery and text to be etched onto an intricate layout of various sized mirror panels. I worked with a glass studio and did the hands-on etching. I also worked with the architects to finalize the over-all color palette of the restaurant. I hand-painted the paper lanterns.

I've solved a variety of aesthetic problems for a private home owner using simple materials, color theory and craftsmanship. I updated the wrot iron sconces with a matte gray paint and found ceramic candle sleeves and gorgeous silk thread wrapped bulbs. I brought in an earthy gray-green color to the sunlight saturated dining room to help cool the space down. I used an embossed pearlized paper to create a one of a kind art installation on the ceiling of repeating forms. I padded out the back of the built-in tea room cabinet with a silk blend fabric to help the coveted objects within pop. I used an energizing sunny yellow for the tiny tea room. The living room is painted with a soft pale blue and a deeper gray blue to accent the chimney. I also worked with the client to create a gallery of favorite family photographs, using a mix of rustic wooden frames and silver painted wood frames. I also hired master carpenter, Tim Pacaldo, to refinish all the damaged and sun-bleached wood work in the primary rooms.
