Residential and Commercial Color Services

  • Curated Residential Palettes

    To curate a color palette uniquely tailored to how you live requires thoughtful exploration of your vision and how it can relate to the people and activities in your space along with the architectural details and materials. Of course, your custom palette will include painted surfaces with design recommendations, and can also encompass permanent elements such as cabinets, floors, fixtures, roofing materials, and windows as these elements are part of the comprehensive color design.

  • Color In Public Spaces

    Color is our most powerful communication tool for creating uplifting spaces, forging unique and genuine bonds with our community, and elevating our human experience. Connecting more deeply can involve curating permanent colors for working spaces and temporary schemes for installations for institutional programs. Tapping into historic details and professional objectives, we'll create a color narrative to activate your plans.

Artist's Note

There's something downright magical about the way low winter sun cast an ethereal blue gray through a window while summer sunsets can powder a room with blush and mauve. I've studied these nuances for decades and remain in awe of Color's power to direct our focus and lift our spirits.

Why Plein Heir?

"Plein" is a nod to the French technique, plein air, which is painting from real life. "Heir" refers to the heirloom quality colors and style that resonate with us.

Plein Heir is about taking note of the details in front of us while honoring what existed before. It's about be willing to see Color, and all the things we think we know, In A New Light.

Through all my iterations as an Artist, Color Curator, Television Host & Producer, Color Marketing & Creative Director, my focus remains on inspiring people through the experience of color and its ability to alchemize transformation and elevate our perspective.

Being on this journey with you is what makes my work meaningful and drives me forward everyday looking for those magic moments where color literally changes our lives.

What People Are Saying...

  • Talk to Artie

    The first in a trio of 8 ft x 4 ft panels, Talk to Artie is a stream of consciousness conversation with my grandmother as a grown person and what she might say to me. This painting led to the trio of pieces created for an exhibition at Jennifer Perlmutter Gallery called If Walls Could Talk.

  • That Dream Again

    Stream of consciousness writing creates a rhythm and flow that can feel like a dream state bringing awareness to deeply held ideas. This second piece is a conversation with myself where considering the conversation with my grandmother brought up recurring dreams I also wanted to explore.

  • Be Still

    Be Still brings the two previous writings together in an exploration of how changing my own narrative might impact my life. It wasn't until all three pieces were hung in the gallery that I realized this piece represented the reframing of my future through quiet contemplation.
