Faux Finishes

Patti was honored to be the artist chosen to restore gold leafing on Mauna ʻAla, King Kamehameha’s Royal Mausoleum and ‘Iolani Palace’s fence and gate. Entrusted with preserving the legacy of Hawaii was a great honor privilege and a project of love. Historic Hawaii Preservation Award, ASID awards.

Everything looks better with a new coat of paint, but add a glaze or a beautiful Venetian plaster and you have completely transformed your space. Once a dull interior, the stunning upgrade brings a dramatic new “look” and brand-new life.

A lifetime as a fine artist used to working with color and glazes, Patti can make walls and furniture look like real marble, brick, or copper patina. Her expertise includes color wash, rag paint, sponge, crackle, silver leafing, stenciling, wood graining, milk paint, and more. Her specialty is trompe-l’oeil, creating texture and depth. Her interior design and wall treatments have been featured in local and national magazines and in a book on Decorative Art “Sophisticated Surfaces.”

Specialty finishes can be applied to almost any surface, from cabinets and vanities to fixtures and walls. If you need a repair or are interested in a decorative finish, contact Patti for a consultation today. Let the transformation begin!
