I have a love of color, design and texture that has helped make me successful with my fine art and fine art photography. My style can range from impressionist to trompe l’oeile, abstract to whimsical. I am currently a digital painter and photographer of wildlife and nature One of my strengths is the ability to match my style of art to the requests and dreams of clients. I developed a style in decorative finishes that was unique and reflects a love of layered finishes. I love to use a lot of metallics in my work too. The metallics reflect light and creates a sense of luxury. Subject matter includes as many diverse aspects of life as I can keep up with. I challenge my horizons and viewpoint of the world around us. Passion for art helps me to depict my interpretations of the world as energetically and colorfully as I am capable of. With over 25 years experience as an impressionist pastel artist and running a studio/gallery, I have successfully run my business and won many top awards for my artwork. Feel free to reach out to us, we would love to hear from you! ### Services Provided - Custom Artwork - Fine Art Custom Art Digital Art and Design Gicl - Photography ### Areas Served - Vancovuer Island, BC ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | ColorSplashes | | Address | Vancouver, Washington 98685, United States | | Phone | (250) 880-5989 | | Website | http://colorsplashes.com | | Followers on Houzz | 50 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/Colorsplashes - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/colorsplashpdx - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/in/colorsplashes - Blog — http://colorsplashes.com/ ## Offers 10% Off Your Next Custom Art Project _Up to $500 Off_ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [ColorSplashes](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/artists-and-artisans/colorsplashes-pfvwus-pf~503732368) - **Website:** http://colorsplashes.com - **Phone:** (250) 880-5989 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 1st Place - Village Gallery of Art - Member: Village Gallery of Art,, IDS, National Assoc. of Photoshop Professionals ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — Titus By Design, June 2014** > I am amazed with the talent of this artist.

Thx!!! A: Consider a unique to you hand painted canvas floor cloth. That could be stunning. There are some on this site or you can custom order one. **Q: Bathroom niche** *(in Design Dilemma)* I need ideas on what to do with this niche Measurements 35x65 inches A: You can add wall paper as suggested - theres is some gorgeous paper out there now. OR you could have custom mural done either directly on the wall or in terms of a custom self stick decal type of mural. What could be stunning is some glass tile design or even a favorite photo of your done on aluminum to custom fit the space. **Q: Plain tempered glass shower doors are boring** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi everyone! My mother is redoing her guest bath (pics to come) and out of budget necessity, has chosen plain tempered glass shower doors. They are directly opposite the door when you walk in so the shower gets a lot of visual attention. She has asked me to help spiff them up a bit by etching them, attaching photos via image transfer, window cling film,etc. She's not afraid to take risks. Given that I'm not very handy or crafty, despite her faith in me, I need help. I've attached a basic layout. Any ideas on how to give them some visual punch? A: You can get custom designed decals or window film that could act as an etched design and cover the whole doors. Let me know - this is something I can design. I also have a good source for decorative window film that can be designed specifically to your tastes. **Q: West facing sunroom window treatments needed in new build** *(in Design Dilemma)* I need sun/heat protection here and continuity given the height of the 2 sliders. The large window is the largest issue. To complicate matters the west view is outstanding! Could really use some advice...thanks A: You should first consider window film that will cut out the UV rays and thus save your flooring, any window treatments you may add as well as all your furniture. It is relatively cost effective. Find a good installer. I did this to all my East facing windows. The sun pounds down on them and it really has made a huge difference in how hot the rooms get AND I do not worry about fading. I would also consider finding a professional window treatment Pro to give you some ideas. Good luck **Q: Tell me what do you think - Kitchen Backsplash Before & After** *(in Before & After)* Using wall tiles stickers from here: http://www.moonwallstickers.com/tile-stickers A: Love it. Being a color person this talks to me. I had started doing this many years ago, before technology caught up and we are so lucky now to have all these options of wall tile stickers and decals. Even better you can design your own. Great job. **Q: Ideas for decorating a grey bedroom wall?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I just moved into my new loft apartment and had the walls painted grey. I'm stuck on what to put on the wall above my bed. Or what color accent item to place on the wall. Any suggestions would be great. Additional info: apartment is midcentury danish modern. bedroom door is a sliding door. Bed and wall are grey. Thanks! :) A: I love the grays and the bed. I think as others have commented a pop of color would be glorious. Some have mentioned red, how about orange or yellow - both are great contemporary looks for the grey palette. You could do this in many way. Change out the pillows with new ones or new pillow covers. Find a lovely patterned modern influenced fabric and reupholster the headboard. And of course art work above the bed would be stunning. Again it could be a black and white photo of your favorite place on earth, consider printing on a high gloss aluminum print and big or a collage of one piece broken up into an interesting combination. Tilesurfaceimpressions.com can help you out with the aluminum print and the quality is amazing. Also for great affordable fabrics look at spoonflower.com - for pillows, wall art and more. Good luck Post pictures of your choices. Would love to see your final soluton. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
