Why do lacquer finishes hit differently? It’s all about the SHINE✨The result is a wall that looks almost liquid and that bounces light around the room so the space feels brighter and more dimensional. Because the lacquer finish is so reflective, the prep underneath has to be flawless, and that craftsmanship is what you see in every surface!

“Metallic Chic” at The San Francisco Fall Show🪞This year we teamed up with my dear friend Lisa Staprans on the fabulous jewelry stand for Tamsen Z by Ann Ziff ✨

From conception to creation, we had just over a month to bring these wisteria-inspired gilded reliefs to life, layering aluminum leaves glazed over molding paste to create an antique silver sculpture effect. The result is quite impressive! Stop by to take a closer look ;)

More specifically, our work included the painting the green cabinet with the portrait of the family’s beloved dog Otis, the blue strie finish in the study and the outside front door columns and molding details that were treated to look like old stone.

Another ambitious commission for the studio: a private library ceiling in Sausalito, inspired by the dome at the 🏛️

Bringing that level of visual effect into a home takes patience and precision: layer after layer, every shadow and light point is considered, with the mathematical precision required to create a true dome illusion on a flat surface.
