Local Artists in Nutley

“When a friend of ours recommended someone she knew to paint a mural on our dining room ceiling, I had no idea a true artist was about to arrive! We wanted a skyscape mostly of clouds and some local birds flying that we were inspired to recreate after visiting a grand estate in Newport, RI! No small feat for sure! Mary Jane impressed us right from the start. The consultation period which consisted of listening to our ideas and then presenting many of her own, lead to a totally collaborative experience. I learned about paint techniques, about perspective and the curing process. We feel that together we created our own masterpiece! Whether you want to be that involved in the process or just need to hand it over to a professional, Mary Jane will create that one of a kind project you will treasure always! If you want quality, craftsmanship and artistry, then you want Plain Jane!”

“I have a number of Rivka Fuch's works and am thrilled with them all. My personal favorite is a photographic piece that is a close-up shot of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It is absolutely breathtaking and very powerful. The two other pieces are small watercolors which add so much to my decor. Rivka's works are creative, impactful, thought provoking and meaningful.”

“Did a wonderful job! Absolutely loved the way Irina renovated my room. She did exactly what I asked for including a decorative mural on my wall consisting of different colors and matching all the furniture perfectly. Stayed well within my budget but used quality furniture and paint. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”

“I employed Ariana Hoffman of AH & Co. to perform a painting job for my bathroom. I was so glad that I did. She was absolutely awesome to deal with, very straight forward. Her extensive knowledge of paint, colors, textures and gloss was enormous. Ariana's attitude, commitment and dedication are unsurpassed. She has attention to detail, a great eye for color, made recommendations of what would work best for my space, worked well with all parties, came in right on time and within the budget I had. She performed such an outstanding job and I am proud to show off my bathroom where I have received numerous compliments. I would definitely utilize Ariana Hoffman and highly recommend her for any/all decorative needs.”

“Robin is amazing! Not only is she extremely creative and talented, but she is organized, professional, and gets the work done in the timeline she says she will. Robin is a pleasure to work with; I have used her in both residential and commercial jobs and highly recommend her for both!”

“What I Wrote below for my initial recommendation is very different to what I'm going to write now. Gert Mathiesen passed away suddenly last week - A big hole now resides in our hearts. Since I heard the news this morning of the passing of Gert, I can’t get it out of my mind – the thought that he knew something most of us don’t. You see… he walked around every day being happy. ‘Just happy. This man did not waste energy on negative thoughts or emotions. It was as if each day was precious – because it was. He must have instinctively known this. So what did he do with his emotions? He made drawings and paintings. Boy, did he! Imagery and colors that insisted to be looked at…one could never ignore them. When I first met his wife Pam, I thought her art was the most colorful, vibrant and happy pieces I’d ever seen…until I saw Gert’s work. It was as if the colors he laid on the paper and canvas were saying…”Whatchu lookin’ at fool? You act like you nevah seen colors as bright as this before! Well, I’m here to tell ya these colors exist in nature and I’m putting ‘em right here before your eyeballs just because I can…and because I’m not afraid to. This was one of the good guys taken too soon. While the world and those who knew him lost the vibrant and singular works he would have surely created down the road, there is still the treasure trove of work that Gert has already made. It represents effervescence, optimism and the zest for life that this man had and now gives us back through his works. Gert, I’ll have a little brighter smile just from knowing you. Rest easy up there. These artists have a highly developed sense of composition and color. They are also very easy to work with and will create a custom piece for the same price point (determined by size and medium) as they sell their existing piece for. Spaces come to life with the addition of their art.”

“I bought a piece of fine art mosaics from Anne several years ago. It is hanging in my den, and never ceases to amaze me how many people comment on not only her choice of subjects, but the beautiful work that she does. Recently I've acquired a new piece, this time in stained glass that sits on my windowsill in my kitchen. The light comes through, and it's absolutely luminous. I have never looked at mosaics in quite the same way again. Jane Kaplan --”

“Antonio's work is fun, fresh and full of life! He worked with me until we had the perfect pieces for my space. I can't wait to work with him again in the future!”

“Arlene is the full package. She is not only professional but personable as well. She is a no none sense artist that is as creative as she is dedicated. She is the type that nails the deadlines and always goes above and beyond. A true asset to any project.”

“When I want to add depth, elegance, or charm to a room or home, I don't hesitate to ask Marcine to join me on the project! Since 2005 I have worked with Marcine to transform the walls and ceilings of my clients homes. She has always executed perfectly each kind of treatment I have ever requested and always meets project timelines and budgets. In addition, she is always learning new techniques to offer the most current and creative effects. I highly recommend Artworks by Marcine, LLC. She is a very talented artist, her work is infused with creativity and you shouldn't be surprised when your neighbors ask for her number! Respectfully, Danielle Parillo Dreambridge Design, LLC.”
