Local Artists in Polkville

“I have known Jamey Nimz from Creative Decor for close to 20 years. As an interior designer I have been approached many times by decorative artists but Jamey is always my first choice for my projects. Jamey is extremely creative and up-to-date on decorative finishes and her work is exceptional. Jamey and I have completed numerous projects together and I always feel confident that she will execute the job perfectly. I can't wait to the next time I can incorporate Jamey's talent into one of my projects.”

“Great designer that is delightful to work with. She helped me choose color scheme through out my home. She has beautiful accessories and can also paint furniture for the perfect Shabby Chic look.”

“Vernon's birdhouses are amazing! Incredible craftsmanship and detail work. I've had a couple of his birdhouses for several years and they have held up extremely well in the weather. Beautiful and functional.”

“From vividly colored birds, to calm equestrian scenes, from magnificent architecture, to stunning portraits and so much more, the artwork featured at WP Originals is unquestionably remarkable. These paintings, pastels, and drawings are created with careful attention to the most minute details which make this artwork outstanding. Additionally, the variety of custom colors schemes and styles made to client request make these pictures an investment that you will not regret making.”

“I have been fortunate to know and work with Joël Urruty dating back to 1994. We both attended The School For American Crafts at RIT in Rochester NY. Our careers continue to develop with much in common despite the fact that our subjects are quite different. I have followed Joël to shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show and the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. These shows expose ones work to the toughest of juries and the most discerning of aficionados. Joël has established himself at the pinnacle of this world based on his meticulous craftsmanship, expressive content and unrivaled charm. I am completely confident that his unique sculptural compositions in wood, bronze and concrete will become the focal point of your project. I am also equally confident that you will have a blast working with him to develop the perfect piece if you decide to embark on a commission.”

“This is my second time working with Jim Watts and Creative Iron Designs, after the incredible stair rail he designed and installed. My recent need: I hated the pre-installed sliding chainmail screen on my retro-fitted fireplace insert. It was a pain to operate and ugly. Jim not only repurposed the chainmail, but transformed it into a work of art and function. I can't stop thinking "Why didn't fireplace inserts come with these anyway?". Jim is a pleasure to work with, answers all questions, makes suggestions - he's an artist with a keen eye and quick wit! I highly recommend Jim for every need you have that involves his creative iron designs.”

“After viewing Joyce’s unique wall art, I just had to have a piece created for our home. Having been twice to the Amalfi Coast, I wanted a remembrance of our visits there. I knew Joyce would capture the best of the ocean and shore.. Upon presentation, Joyce asked me to title the piece. What an honor, I thought! Bellissimo Cielo e Mare so beautifully captures the senses and memories of a very special place for me. As I pass this work of art in our home I have fond memories and thank Joyce for creating this lovely piece.”

“I love Joyce’s work. They are happy, bright, and inspiring. I have pillows of her art all over my home. I have enjoyed everything I’ve ever seen and purchased. Treat yourself to a true artist!”

“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”
