Local Artists in Muscoy

“I just received my Cutty Sark model boat and it is just what I have wanted since I was a kid. It was carefully shipped and was undamaged and is beautiful. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is excellent and for the price quite a bargain. Thanks to all at Old Modern Handicrafts for making such a fine product.”

“I love Peters Gallery. i have worked With Janice for many many years for both my personal and business framing. She has a keen sense for what I like. Great service!”

“In the summer of 2006, Anita painted an amazing mural at our house. You can see photos on Anita's website at http://theboldbrush.com/murals5.html. First of all, the artistic "vision" was incredible - Anita came to visit our house, we talked about possible locations for the mural, and subject matter. She brought many books and photos with ideas, talked to us about our lifestyle, careers, interests, and hobbies, and toured our house and yard. She then came up with the brilliant suggestion of an "interior" window that showed our backyard, and showcased aspects of our garden (which is a major source of enjoyment for us) - a basket of veggies, our cat walking on the fence, our tools propped against the fence. Look closely and you can see very personal touches: a tea towel from our kitchen, my husband's gardening gloves, his glass of iced tea. The larger stone wall is an exact duplication of an actual stone wall on the opposite side of the room (fireplace) - where she LITERALLY created stone patterns by tracing the existing stones. The attention to detail is breathtaking. If there actually WAS a window there (and in the additional walls behind it), you really WOULD see our garden, so this is a very clever concept. She worked on scaffolding in our living room for several weeks - it made me think of Michaelangelo (no kidding!) - and during that time managed to seem practically invisible (and I work at home, she did not disturb me at all). I've had workers in the house before who left a mess, but Anita cleaned up every day, took great care to protect the piano and furniture and so on. She also helped me figure out the accent pieces sitting on the shelf, stereo speakers and so on. That completed the look! Almost 8 years later, we still enjoy the surprise of first-time visitors when they walk into the room. Our mural is a wonderful conversation piece, a dramatic personalization of our house, and something we admire every day. Thanks, Anita!”

“Joni Herman was such a treat to work with. She was able to come into our home and by talking with me & my husband, she was able to capture our thoughts and feelings and put them onto our walls & ceilings. She did everything from faux finishes, murals and Venetian plaster throughout our house, capturing many different moods in the different rooms. We were able to customize everything to fit our decor and she was always very conscientious about meeting our expectations and pleasing us. We have a large house and she worked very quickly and was always professional. I will definitely use her services in the future and would not hesitate to refer someone to use her.”

“Allison is all about pleasing the client. We had decided on a certain faux wood-grain finishto cover a white fireplace mantel. When I realized it was too orange (near the end of her application), she helped me find the right tone and reapplied a new finish that was perfect with no added charge. Lovely to work with...has a very fine aesthetic. Highly recommend her.”

“Seth has worked with my wife and I on many projects over the past 13 years at our home and my office and has exceeded our expectations on each one. He took the time to carefully listen to our request and quickly transformed them into reality. Seth is a amazing artist who is dedicated to his trade. As far as we are concerned, we would be hard pressed to find someone as talented and easy to work with. We highly recommend Tic Toc Murals! Rob & April”

“When someone loves what they do for a living, the result of that work is going to be superior. With that being said Carlos is a perfectionists and loves what he does. He has painted several murals in my house and I keep coming back for more. I would recommend Carlos to anyone as he is very professional and did I mentioned he loves what he does.”

“Charles fabricated and installed all the ironwork on the exterior of my home. He also constructed a small granite water feature. He is professional, creative, and timely. I would highly recommend Charles.”

“Its a Beautiful World worked with me for all the framed art for The Sofia Hotel in San Diego. Their work is beautiful, they worked with my budget and provided amazing service.”

“I have been the Chairman of the Philharmonic House of Design five times. Eloise has donated her talents to many design homes with us, the last this past June, and her work is always exquisite. She is very talented and just keeps getting better and better because she is constantly adding to her repertoire of techniques. She is very professional and a pleasure to work with.”
