Chest with Quail Hunting Scene
Repurposed antique cedar chest turned coffee table with a quail hunting scene. This commissioned chest was passed down for generations, but it’s stained cedar finish didn’t fit with my client’s decor. I applied a hand rubbed painted finish with the painted scene, now the focal point of the study.
Lowcountry Oak Sculpture
This sculpture was made for a home in Palmetto Bluff, Bluffton, SC. The client wanted a wall mounted sculpture in the shape of a live oak tree. The oak tree is made of sixty smaller sculptures representing the abundant flora and fauna found on the property. Each piece has an iron finish with rust patina. the overall sculpture measures 7.5′ high x 9′ wide.
Trompe L’oiel Shells
Graham Rust inspired mural, the trompe l’oiel shells were painted on a dining room ceiling at a home in Beaufort, SC. The shells were painted monochromatic to appear to formed plaster with pineapples to symbolize southern hospitality. at the time I was painting the mural, a Carolina Wren had a nest just outside the window. For a touch of whimsy, the homeowner asked that I add the Wren perched one of the shells with its nest nestled within the shell on the opposite side.
Faux Bois
Faux Bois (French for false wood) trim in a Long Point, Savannah, GA residence. I applied a faux wood finish with several layers of glaze and clear making the walnut doors appear larger and lighter in color than the former white trim. This saved the homeowner from days of construction and finishing.
