My preferred painting style is a technique of artificially aging wooden furniture to create effects seen from the passing of time. By combining the use of ancient techniques together with ingredients available today, I have created processes that provide an authentic look & feel to the furniture I paint. Ingredients include casein, albumin, natural earth pigments as well as water based paints from contemporary brands. Natural stains mixed with water and applied using a naked flame give an incredibly authentic feel. These ingredients & methods are applied in stages and in successive layers making each piece unique as if history has created each scuff, blemish & stain.
