I went to Ashley with an idea for an "antique map" mural for the ceiling of our study. She and I researched maps on the internet, agreed on an idea, and she went to work. The result is fabulous!! Ashley recommended I have the ceiling of the study painted to match the walls, and she matched the background of the map mural to the paint color, so it really looks as though the map is painted on the ceiling. Additionally, Ashley customized the border colors to match the rug in the room, and, to top it all off, she "framed" the mural in a faux wood frame. The whole thing is really beautiful, exactly what I envisioned...and then some! I have wanted a tile backsplash in my kitchen for as long as I can remember, but I could never find either the perfect tiles or an installer I had a lot of confidence in. Ashley designed a faux tile backsplash for me using randomly placed flowers copied from my china pattern, and the result is stunning! The colors and design are so "me" - definitely a result of the personal time and attention Ashley put into the project! Her attention to detail is also very evident - the "grout" is the same color as my countertops, and she designed a border in that same color, so the overall effect is a custom made "backsplash" that you have to actually touch to know it's not real tile!

I came upon Stephen Estrada’s paintings through his exhibition the at Delaplaine Visual Art Center in Frederick MD. His striking, mural sized sea paintings made me feel like I was there. I purchased one of his large pieces for my apartment in NYC where it is prominently displayed. Stephen delivered and installed the painting himself and was great in putting me in touch with a lighting expert so I could properly light the painting. He was great to work with, communicated well, and his creativity and professionalism is outstanding. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to commission a high quality mural or work of art.

Had an enjoyable experience working through the scope with Ben although he wasn't the one that did the painting. The painters that worked on the project were great at communicating and answering questions in addition to being punctual and efficient. They did great work too.

Langston painted several rooms in our house, in one case on top of new drywall and another after having to strip wall paper first. In both cases, he did an excellent job! He is a consummate professional with an easy personality, and his work is of the highest quality. As soon as I can convince my husband to do so, I'll be having Langston paint even more in my house, maybe even a mural!

I did a logo design with Schwa Design Group and they exceed my expectations. Very good service and customer care received. Accomplishment of the goal on time and full assistance for the design and suggestions was received. Excellent!

Vitali is a unique artist. His work was outstanding, particularly his attention to detail. From the start Vitali has been a good listener and communicator. Helped us refine our overall design of the mural and completely understood our needs and wishes, which ended in a great mural. Punctual and trustworthy as well. I earnestly recommend Vitali and looking forward to working with him again in the near future!

Replicating natural elements with paint is called faux painting. The old masters developed techniques to replicate wood, marble, limestone, plaster, tortoise shells, and more. With the development of new materials today, it can now be virtually applied to any surface with a purpose to personalize and decorate your surroundings. With formal classical art education in Moscow and Rome, it would be my pleasure to share my experienced skills in this craft to your business or home throughout the Washington, DC area, including Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, or McLean in Virginia; or Bethesda, Potomac, or Chevy Chase in Maryland. I speak English, Spanish, Russian and Italian.

By offering FREE on-site design consultations, estimates and full-color sketches, I offer potential clients the opportunity to see what I can do to transform their space with no risk or obligation.
