bio = 'Coming from an artist\'s perspective I enjoy providing designers and architects with creative options not normally available to them. So often, the design community is confronted by limited choices for hand applied wall finishes. My desire is to be of service working closely with designers<br> to produce special custom finishes they envision for their projects. Being adventurous, I look forward to projects <br>that stretch my imagination so please feel free to contact<br>me with any concept you have.';
