Custom Artists in Atascadero

“Debbie painted a mural of the Lone Cypress on the exterior wall of my neighbor's patio that was directly across the driveway from my kitchen window. The wall is about 10 feet high by 15 feet long. It was a delicious inspiration for my culinary efforts and a pleasant distraction when dirty dishes were in the sink. I sold the house in 2015 for $250,000 more than the real estate experts told me I would receive for it. And one of the experts who became my agent for that sale noted that the mural was a significant attraction. Debbie has done other very impressive work you can ask her to detail. If you consider commissioning art by Flamethrower, I recommend that you look at several of her works. She likes strong contrasts and highlights in her painting. But she will do what you want if you prefer something else. The first two days she sketched a scene that was more than I had hoped for. It was wonderful. Then she began to add coloring and contrast. I wish I had asked her to stop after the second day. I am a sensitive, caring, subtle person who served in the Marines and only wants strong colors on a bayonet. I was enchanted by the softer scene that she considered the preliminary sketch. When she began to apply more color and contrast, I expressed reservations. She was very nice and understanding; and she adjusted the composition. She produced a beautiful mural, but I still regret not having stopped her after the second day. She wants you to like what she creates for you. But she does not read minds. So you have to express your desires. It is the same approach spouses should take. Debbie is very engaging and appealing. But don't mess with her. She has a pet rattlesnake named Hector. Original art is an enviable addition to a home.”

“I have had 2 custom mosaic art pieces from Martellina. I was drawn to the very small pieces of glass used in the artwork which makes it very intricate and detailed. I was able to request very specific images to include ( which included an octopus, a crab, a tree, and ocean waves) so the pieces are very customized, not pre-conceived or mass-produced. I have seen other mosaic art pieces from Martellina and the quality and artistry shine through. I highly recommend.”
