May 2, 2008
Carrollton, Texas (WiredPRNews.com) — The word “faux finish” has become a chic word in recent years for everything from faux fur to faux pearls. In the art world, faux finishing has taken the world by storm as homeowners and business executives have taken to personalizing their space to suit a style all their own. Faux finishing is painting on a whole new level. More than just a base coat and stencils, gone are the days of wallpaper that bubbles and ages with time. In today’s modern society where color holds the key to consumer interest, decorative faux paintings is the most creative and interesting way to liven up any space. Accent walls using faux finish paint is an easy way to add a bit of diversity to a room, but a more creative technique, faux painting technique has gained widespread popularity in recent years.
Eva Musquiz, a faux paint artist / owner and head artisan of Evie’s Easel, a Dallas faux finishing studio, has adopted the belief that life is too colorful–and too short–for white walls and bland surroundings. “A few cans of paint and a truck load of creativity is all it takes to set your room apart from the rest. Creating texture with color breathes new life into any space and it’s my job to help my clients capture that idea and set it on fire.”
Faux finishing techniques have a broad spectrum of looks from glazing to drip washes, and even finishes that can resemble leather, marble or stone. With home decorating techniques such as these, it is hard to believe that wallpaper was ever the rage! In fact, home improvement centers now offer basic classes for homeowners who want to learn tricks of the trade since the popularity of faux has flourished.
The Evie’s Easel website shows an extensive portfolio of the company’s works including dramatic before and after shots of kitchen cabinet make-overs, Olde World faux textures, elaborate murals and plastered stucco. An artist by passion and not by trade, Eva Musquiz lives, eats and breathes art.
“Being an ovarian cancer survivor at age 18, and cured at 21, her belief in the half-full glass is evident upon meeting her. Her life is an example of faith, tenacity, passion and lots of color.
