JerGiles Artwalls

To whom it may concern: It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for my colleague and friend, Mr. Jer Giles. As an Interior Designer in Dallas, I have collaborated with him on numerous projects for many years, creating wonderful wall and ceiling murals and faux finish. Jer is an incredibly talented and imaginative artist, with a commitment to excellence in all of his creations. A true professional, he is serious about his work, is always dependable, and eager to please the client. I have truly enjoyed working with Jer and his wife Patricia, and am fortunate to be able to call them my good friends. His name and portfolio will make a wonderful addition to your list of professionals. Sincerely, Barbara J. McCutchin President & CEO Barbara McCutchin & Associates Interior Design 4516 Lovers Lane, Suite 420 Dallas, Texas 75225

JerGiles Artwalls has been in involved in the renovation of our home since 1999. Since we did much of the work ourselves, his input of color and design was critical. His architectural knowledge, knowledge of home styles and decorating styles, as well as his knowledge of zoning requirements has been instrumental in creating a unique home. From renovating a wall surrounding a fireplace to creating a coral reef bathroom; from painting a bath to minimize 1950s tile and match a shower curtain to painting quotations on kitchen and dining room walls, Jer Giles has always been creative and easy to work with. He also repaired a wall he had previously painted because of a mishap by the electrician - part of the sheet rock was torn away. You can't tell anything ever happened! Jer Giles is well aware of budget constraints and uses "tricks of the trade" in new and innovative ways. His company has been a joy to work with and I look forward to more collaborations in the future.

Jer was a pleasure to work with. His creative-spark and enthusiasm was inspiring and infectious. We were remodeling half our house. For one part, what we saw as a problem - a wall-length floor-to-ceiling built-in office desk that was poorly stained - he turned it into a work of art. I can boastfully say that I have not only Jer Giles-signed artwalls, but also a built-in office desk. He offered his expert eye and paint solutions to other areas of the project as well. I felt like he had an interest in our project as a whole and not just the getting through a contract. I can't wait to get him back for the other half of the house!

Jer has installed color treatments and murals for me several times. The most recent was after a complete remodel which convered our living room and kitchen into a great room. In creating a lovely colorwash that tied many of the colors we had in the mix already - the red of the sofa, the soft colors of the outside bricks and the deep ox-blood of the kitchen cabinets, this treatment brought these two rooms together more seamlessly than the architectural changes! The walls seem to dance with color changes as the outside and inside lights change. ALSO Prior to that, Jer did our master suite in a dreamy light scumble, a highlighted niche, and an energetic treatment in the master bath that highlighted and played off the movements and colors in the limestone. BEFORE THAT Jer has also done murals in two homes for us. Several done in the 1980's are still treasured by the 'new' home owner. (We get word from the neighbors!) Those included fabulous canyon scene in the front hallway and a standing loom with partially woven rug which disguised our laundry room doors (which were conveniently rather obvious at the end of the kitchen and half way into the living room). Everyone who visited us was in awe of that work. We enjoyed that for 10 years and still smile when we drive by and see the front door (which Jer painted to look like solid wood) and the mailbox (which is on the house and has a blue-sky and canyon scene like the front hall.) NEXT We are wrapping up another phase of remodeling and eager to have Jer and Patricia back to highlight the new gallery, dining room and hallway.
