I am one of those fortunate people who have been able to combine my cumulative life experiences and passion into developing my business Alluring Wallscapes LLC. I specialize in creating mesmerizing focal walls, mimicking high end wallpapers and transforming the appearance of ordinary surfaces giving them a remarkable and invigorating update.

How did you get into decorative arts and was it a career you saw for yourself early on?
Growing up, I worked with my mom in her antique store, “staging” areas for furniture display and helping her clients find just the right piece to achieve the atmosphere they wanted for their homes. Understanding a client’s style and vision is fundamental to the work that I do today, which I think of as a collaboration between us to bring their vision to life and sometimes to help them understand what works or doesn’t work in their space.

As a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, I learned concepts of interior design: valuable insights of color theory, idea visualization marketing and communications. At my first job with a prestigious package design and marketing, I learned how research on consumer preferences/desires is then artistically fused and utilized to create the successful packaging of products. Some years later, I was inspired to start a home staging company which was unheard of at the time on the east coast.

After moving to Vero Beach in 2005 I participated in an advanced decorative finishing class offered by Faux Effects International. It changed the course of my professional and creative life, helping me to understand that I would rather be creating finishes than literally anything else! Under the tutelage of the industry’s top artisans from all over the United States I have transformed my passion into my livelihood! I am an active member of IDAL and the Vero Beach Art club.

On a personal note, I am very happily married, love to play tennis and enjoy the beauty and artistic opportunities all around me in scenic Vero Beach, FL.
