Murals
Murals and Trompe L'oeil projects are always fun and challenging to do. They combine research and skill, and each sketch allows us to improve our ability to meet your expectations.
Artists on all levels are available to work within your budget (see mural gallery examples by Michele Dawn). Our talented crew of artisans keeps the designs fresh and fluid.
Trompe l'oeil is a French term which means “trick the eye.” Sometimes called illusionism, this unique style of painting gives the appearance of three-dimensional or photographic realism. It has flourished since The Renaissance, and can be playful or intellectually serious.
We often combine faux and trompe l'oeil techniques to finish or refinish furniture and cabinetry. The advantage to this approach is being able to decide exactly how you want your piece to look. Whether it is a distressed finish (using colors from your décor), or a hand-painted design, you can be sure it will be a one-of-a-kind piece that will be admired for generations to come.
We will be happy to consult with you for any of your professional and artistic needs. Please contact us for additional information.
Venetian Plasters
Michele Dawn Designs provides both Contemporary and Old World trowelled applications of Authentic Italian Lime Plasters, better known as Venetian Plasters. These plasters can be luxuriously highly polished, or rustic and aged.
Fine Ventian Plasters are from Italy, and they are eco-friendly natural products that are applied in traditional European ways, handed down over many generations. They present a stunning backdrop for Grandiose Foyers, Formal Dining Rooms, and Exquisite Living Rooms.
The inner beauty of Venetian Plasters is in their stone-like nature. A high pH prevents the build up of mold and mildew, their breathable embodied properties.
We work with private clients, builders, architects and designers throughout Southern California. We're always happy to consult with you for any of your professional needs, and we'll be happy to review whether Venetian Plasters are the right product for you.
Please contact us to schedule an appointment, or to request additional information.
