MURALS INSTALLED

"I contacted Paddy after viewing her website... I was in need of someone to help me with a special project
during the construction of our new home. I loved Paddy's work so I decided to call her even though I was in
North Carolina and she was in Florida. The distance did not make one bit of difference.
She was very easy to work with and very accessible by phone, mail, and email.

She listened very well to what I was trying to do in regards to the tile I wanted painted around our
new fireplace in our master bedroom. I am so glad that I chose to work with her... our fireplace is perfect!
It has given us a beautiful focal point to help decorate our bedroom.
I couldn't have been more pleased with the final results. I would not hesitate to recommend Paddy
and would definitely use her again for another project. Susan G. North Carolina

Above are pictures of tile painted with a map of Sarasota, Florida (it was impossible to take a photo without getting a reflection of the Sarasota Bay). It was installed outside on a balcony. The map was surrounded with tiles telling the history of Sarasota dating back to the 1600's (2 examples are below). Birds flying overhead balance out the artwork.
