An architectural colorist can help you increase the beauty and value of your home or business. Color is the first thing people notice when they approach a building, or enter a room.  Art First will specify colors for paint, roofing materials, tile, carpet, and other surfaces, to create a unified and dynamic effect for your interior and exterior projects.Art First can also advise on the best placement of furnishings, lighting, and artwork, re-create your space with what you have, or improve it with smart, economical additions.

Unique design for your needs
Every structure, like every homeowner, is unique.  As an artist, I approach each project as a new creative opportunity.  I don't use fixed color palettes, because they can't express the individual nature of a place.  I have never duplicated the same color plan for two different buildings.

Historic and original colors
If your property has historic merit, I can determine the original paint colors, and also formulate a color palette which is historically correct for the architectural style.  So, if the paint colors selected by the first homeowners are not to your taste, there is an opportunity to adjust the colors and remain true to the spirit of the time

Environmentally friendly policy
We encourage the use of no-odor, low VOC paints and other materials.The DecisionWhen you need to make a change in your environment, my consultations are efficient and reasonably priced.  You will get

  • an initial visit to the site,
  • a consultation on the architectural considerations in your color and design choices;
  • clarification of your color preferences and the mood you would like to create;
  • color samples for walls, ceiling, and trim
  • additional details for exterior design
  • follow-up visits; and
  • final specification sheets listing the types and colors of paint and materials you need, and their placement.

The job isn't finished until you are pleased.
Remember: Art First for a beautiful Finish.
