About
I am a professional painter and decorative artist. As a result of my fine art background, my work is precise and meticulous across the variety of projects I work on. As I work in many of my clients homes, I am dedicated to helping my customers achieve the vision they want, regardless if I am painting a realistic mural or repainting a bathroom with a fresh coat. I specialize in interior house painting; custom murals and decorative embellishments; chalkboard & sign writing; furniture refinishing; and personalized portraits including pets. I love being able to help bring my client's vision to life. I hold myself to a high standard and I am not afraid of working hard to get the proper "look". Art can be sentimental, engaging, defining, and beautiful; being able to collaborate with my customers and translate their vision into completion continually drives my passion.

I am thrilled with Emily and the ceiling mural she painted for me. Emily was great to work with, her communication was excellent, she listened to what I wanted and we worked together to create the vision. She is a very talented artist and I hope to have her back to do more work for me in the future.

If I could give 100 stars I would. She was punctual, professional, easy to reach and communicate with. I feel like I won the lottery having her do this project. Very talented young lady I hope to work with her again to paint my dogs.

I have hired Emily for several drawings for my family's pets. Her work was exactly what I had imagined. She depicted the animals personality in her drawings. Her work is one to be desired. I would definitely refer any of my friends and family to her to do artwork. In fact, she drew a portrait of my dog and opening it brought tears to my eyes because it was absolutely perfect! I would trust her to do any art project because she is able to handle various types of art styles from painting murals to drawing pet portraits with pencil she has amazing skills.

I commissioned a painting of my "kids" for my husband's birthday. I supplied Emily with a few photos where the subjects just would not stay still! From that she created the most amazing work of art. Her level of professionalism and responsiveness to my needs was of top quality and the painting was complete and delivered in perfect time. I would highly recommend Pushing Paint for any custom work you may be seeking. The value of work produced was beyond expectations!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My rate varies from project to project, depending on complexity, medium, size, and other variables. I work with my customers to find a price that's fair for the work produced and within budget. I maintain quality standards for all of my work.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When I start working with a new customer, its my job to understand clearly what they are visualizing. Reference images of what a new client is inspired by are very helpful with beginning a new project. After we outline the project and what needs to be accomplished and we agree upon a price, I usually produce a mockup or sketch for my customer to approve before I get to work on the 'real deal.'

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have studied Fine Art throughout high school and college, graduating with a bachelors in Art from UC Santa Cruz. There I focused mainly on painting, drawing, and photography, including digital editing in photoshop. I gained experience as a freelance graphic artist while in school, and went on to work on art & design and printing at a screenprinting company.
