How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As an artist I wanted to meld my artistic skills with my painting company. We run a high end painting company as well so this helps in the fact that our services are complete making scheduling much easier for the customer. Also I am responsible for the quality of the work beneath our finishes.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I offer a higher quality realism in my work than I see in the area. There seems to only be a few of the decorative artists in this area that can accomplish a high degree of realism in their trompe l'oeil work and faux boise (wood) and marble.
