Where It All Began
My creative spark was simple: I wanted to give people something beautiful and hand-painted - something intentional. I was always drawn to the architectural elegance of ceiling details.
Form Meets Function
From the inspiration, I started playing with shape. I was obsessed with creating something sculptural - bold, architectural medallions that could truly transform a ceiling.
The Very First Medallion: Vision Meets Reality
The first medallion I made was from MDF - a radiant starburst shape. It didn't have the shine I was after and was too heavy for simple installation. But this was my 'aha' moment.
Creating Finishes by Hand
Each finish was a hand-mixed recipe. I wrote them down like a chef and tested them on chips. I was learning how to reverse-paint on LUCiTE, controlling flow and opacity to create the look I imagined.
Naming the Muses
As the designs evolved, I began naming each medallion after a woman in my life who shaped me - each one a tribute, a story. They became more than products.
Backplates Take Center StageFrom Paintbrush to Purpose: How My Creative Journey Evolved Into Something Entirely My Own
Backplates began as supporting details but quickly took the lead. Their scale and versatility caught attention. Paired with tassels, knobs, or hooks, they became dynamic tools for transformation.
Art Is How We Evolve
This journey taught me that nothing new happens without someone willing to explore the unknown. Creativity is rarely tidy, but it's always vital.
