Local Artists in Glen Avon

“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.”

“Lucy is an extraordinary artist. She has the ability to capture the essence of the details and render them in a softness not seen in the work of other artists. Plus she is delightful to work with. She produces a sketch for approval and keeps within the budget. You will not be disappointed.”

“I wrote a review in the past about this company that was not that favorable. I was working with someone in the LA office and it was not going well. Now, I continue to use ModShop and work with Dallas in the NYC location. He is amazing, responsive and extremely helpful. Dallas, and the company, have been great in making things right for some of my clients lately, when items have come in not as expected. Thank you Dallas for changing my opinion about ModShop!”

“Steven is a polished, competent professional. He is collaborative, creative and delivers portfolio caliber images. We will continue to work with him and I highly recommend him.”

“Janice helped me design the perfect Roman shades for the dining room of our Prairie-style home, built in 1914. She sent me fabric and thread samples, was meticulous about confirming the measurements, and met a tight deadline. The shades enhance our beautiful windows and woodwork, and everyone who sees them asks how we managed to find shades that look like they were made just for our house. Well, they were!”

“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.”

“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!”

“We have seen their magnificent work first hand on many of our clients homes as well as in magazines and showcase homes over the years. We recommend this company to anyone who loves our old world stone look to be translated onto their plastered and stenciled walls and surfaces.”
