I have been painting since I was 9 years old. I studied Graphic Design in Arizona and mix a Graphic Style with my love of Color and life. I grew up in the midwest and have painted on 'Old Barn Doors,Weathered Wood' you name it and have always gone back to Canvas. I work with Raw Canvas and paint Original Hand Painted Floor Cloths as well as Stretched and Flat Canvas.
Floor Cloths are my Favorite to paint. Floorcloths originated in the 1400's when the women would go to the ships and take torn sails from the ships and stain them and use them for flooring to place over dirt floors. It is an Old Trade and of course it has evolved to what Professional Floor Cloth Artists make today.
My Floor Cloths are the Highest Quality that I think you can purchase . I start with Raw #12 or #10 Canvas, Size and Base Coat with 3 Coats of Primer sanded inbetween each coat. From there I paint my design and when finished add 6 Coats of a Water Based Poly Finish to protect your ART. All Edges are turned and sealed and corners are mitered. They are Fantastic for wanting a Allergy Free Flooring and you just wipe off with soapy water to clean! Kids and Pet Friendly!
Start to finish is about a 3 week process for each piece depending on the design and size.
Yes, all of my original Floor Cloth ART is Designed to be WALKED ON...I have collectors from all over the US and Canada.
I strive to provide a HIGH Quality Piece of Registered ART that you will be Happy to Showcase in your home. Many of my collectors frame these Floor Cloths because they say they are to beautiful to walk on.
I Register ALL of my Art and you will receive an Ownership and Valuation Certificate with each original!
