A decorative painter is a decorator in the truest sense. Most techniques for faux finishing and patinas are parts or a isolated step used in faux painted marble and faux paint wood and stone, like ragging, sponging, stippling, dragging, dry brushing, combing, using a positive glaze application and negative removal of the glaze.

From Hartford to New York state to Massachusetts to Long Island and Greenwich CT. to New Jersey and each year it gets better and better, with more interesting people and projects that keep my line of work interesting.
