Charlotte Sullivan is an esteemed muralist and decorative painter who has
over 15 years experience working in New York and New Jersey on residential
and commercial projects. She has also won industry awards for her stencilling
and faux marble techniques. What differentiates Ms. Sullivan from her
colleagues is her formal art education. Charlotte earned her BFA in Fine Arts
from Pratt Institute, and has studied traditional painting for more than 20
years with nationally known artist John Osborne, at the Ridgewood Art
Institute. Her study of painting, color theory, art history and architecture,
combined with influences from her travels allow her to fully cater to the
nuances of her client's needs.

Charlotte's work is influenced by her travel and knowledge of period styles.  She also draws inspiration from master painters such as John Singer Sargent, James MacNeill Whistler and Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin, as well as the decorative arts of Louis Comfort Tiffany, William Morris, Christopher Dresser and Walter Crane.  Often, Charlotte heads to the Metropolitan Museum or looks at the wallpapers and textiles of American and European designers for fresh ideas.  As well as being informed by the masters of the past, Ms. Sullivan also endeavors to stay informed of current industry trends.  She keeps her portfolio fresh, continuing to broaden her education by studying with today's modern masters of faux finishing, such as Pierre Finkelstein and Robert Marx.

In 2001, Charlotte was able to enhance her work with the addition of her sister, Kate Hall, who received her BFA in textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design.   Kate's textile and pattern design skills have enriched the quality of the company's projects. Having a second critical eye is a great asset when executing a challenging commission, such as highly realistic faux marble. 

When engaged on a project, Ms. Sullivan will look to bring the client's idea to fruition or advise on a design scheme for the space.   Whether you have very specific ideas and expectations requiring exacting execution or only a vague idea for inspiration, the work can be as collaborative as the client wishes.

Charlotte is also a registered NJ Home Improvement Contractor (#13VH03388400).
