Custom Artists in Lyman

“I visited this artist's studio and took a class taught by her on Mosaics. She is very gifted and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to hire her as her heart is in her work!”

“I ordered and received on-time three paintings for my home from Janette Marvin. One is a ruby-red still-life of cherries in a bowl, the second was a vivid green palm-tree and blue-sky beach setting from a location in Brazil where I live, and the last was a close-up of lilac-colored flowers. I cherish all three paintings and hope to buy more in the near future. While I have seen and was amazed by her murals, Janette can paint still-lifes, natural settings, as well as human subjects in an intriguing and riveting manner.”

“Sharon did a great job in designing and installing a mosaic tile backsplash as part of our kitchen remodel. In consulting with her beforehand she helped me reflect on what type of design would reflect my personal tastes. She did a lovely job of creating the tiles and they are the perfect finishing touch to our beautiful new kitchen! She kept to the schedule we discussed and was great at communicating throughout the project.”

“Janette did a wonderful job on our mural in town!! She was very professional & did the work in a timely manner, despite poor weather conditions. She has a true passion for what she does & sincerely looks out for her customer's interest. I would highly recommend her!!”

“Lyna transformed my entire bland space into something special, all with paint. But what paint! With her artist’s eye, she contributed a vision that any non-artist homeowner will truly appreciate (and artistic ones will embrace as well!). I had all off-white walls and really didn’t know what I wanted (except not all white). Lyna really looked at the space and the world-class mountain view from my windows and worked from there. From her wealth of knowledge of faux painting and finishing, and the experience from many successful projects, she made suggestions for each room that ended up being just perfect for me. We decided on a textured finish for the living area (brown glaze over gray walls), which provides an interesting, but not intrusive, backdrop to showcase the beautiful views and future art. In the same room, she created a Venetian plaster surround for the fireplace that perfectly complements the walls and floor-to-ceiling blinds. When I expressed amazement that it all came together so beautifully, she gave me that wry “look.” She was never in doubt! For the master bedroom, which is absolutely flooded with light, she helped me (patiently) with the trial and error to find the perfect blue-green that wouldn’t look too gray or too greenish, then made suggestions for darker shades of the same color to accent the alcove behind the bed and for the master bath. For a bedroom with no windows (this is a condo building), she came up with a gold-yellow Shimmerstone burnished finish complimented by a copper accent wall section that all worked together to make the dark room, well, shimmer, without being over the top. For the media room, also with no windows, she gave me the courage to try a beautiful leaf green that I truly love to see every day. Throughout it all, Lyna was a great pleasure to work with. She is very friendly and open, and quite passionate about her work. As for budget, I didn’t have one, but she helped me make decisions that keep it all reasonable. She also seems to be very organized in terms of scheduling toward a prompt completion, which meant a lot to me given that every room in my home was a work in progress at the same time. Lyna has my whole-hearted endorsement for anyone who wants more than the ordinary! NB”
