Saundra Farnsworth Decorative Painter Company Profile

o that she is not lumped with any of a few categories that you might mistakenly think she fits into, Saundra Farnsworth's work must be distinguished immediately. First of all, she is not a hobby artist, painting mediocre scenes for friends and family who graciously praise the artist, irrespective of the art produced, thus inspiring delusions of grandeur in an otherwise unremarkable talent. Saundra does not produce misshapen faces and distorted proportions; the lady paints professionally and beautifully. She is a formally trained graphic artist and truly talented.

Neither is Saundra Farnsworth only a faux finish painter. She does produce delicate and compelling trompe l'oeil surfaces when commissioned, but faux is by no means all she does as a decorative painter. Think your dining room might look great with a Tuscan glow on the walls, but worry that it will overwhelm or look tacky next to your antique furniture or high-end design pieces? Not to worry, Saundra understands these subtleties. Want sweet little barnyard animals painted in the baby's nursery, but worry that they might inspire nightmares instead of blissful comforting? Rest assured, Saundra can depict a tender and bucolic scene, fit to relax you and your little tyke.

Art and Life
Although Saundra once worked in graphic design doing lots of technical designing, she left that world behind years ago, and is pleased to be able to follow her artistry, and make a living doing work that brings joy to customer and artist alike. She is enthusiastic about her business, saying, "I love what I do!" She must love her work; when asked about how her own house is painted, she rattled off an array of themes that she has painted for herself and her daughter (lucky girl!). See examples of her impressive range of styles and creative vision here on her Prime Dashboard photos and on her Web site (there is a link under the Capability Scorecard button to Saundra's Web page).

It is worth noting that Saundra Farnsworth uses high quality (not to be confused with over-priced) paints. Colors are never gaudy, instead she focuses on harmony, color value and subtlety to convey scenes with impact. It is said that, "In matters of taste there is no dispute." We all know that this may be true some of the time, but the fact is some folks wouldn't know tasteful if it hit them in the mouth. Saundra appears incapable of painting for that category of tacky customer. Without exception, she shows restraint even when a scene is extravagant. For instance, when rendering a lush jungle scene, a less professional artist would be tempted to take the opportunity to splash emerald greens around with reckless abandon. Saundra saves the bold for greatest effect, setting the scene with layers of translucent washes, so that the swaths of brightest jungle green really snap.

Shades of Beauty
