At the core of my practice, is the thrill of the creative act. It's the spark of an idea I dive into head-first exploring everything about this thought until I can see if my hunch, after all, is a good one.

Launching my decorative painting business 25 years ago was the beginning of a creative career peaked (so far) by countless bespoke finishes, art commissions, and color palettes for discerning clients, plus three seasons hosting and consulting on a successful makeover show on television, and a few years leading an iconic paint label from regional company to national brand through color product and e-commerce development, all while continuing my private work as a residential color curator, artist, and creator of home furnishings through Plein Heir by Shannon Kaye.
