"Susan was a student in one of my Caromal Colours classes.  The first thing I noticed about Susan was her diligent attention to details and how quickly she picked-up on the process.  Susan was also very quick to add her own designs and ideas along with the Caromal Colour product line and this is something that makes a great artist and a delight to work with.

Thank you Susan for being such a great student."

"I love hearing stories about how people got started in the industry and am amazed at how they apply their talents creating stunning finishes for clients.

To show her off a bit, Susan used our Raised Plaster Samantha Frieze Stencil as an accent to the beautiful raised diamond design below it.  But the design I totally flipped for is her wallpaper design using our Old World Grapevine Mold and Stencil Set

I love seeing what people do with my designs and I've never seen the plaster grapes design used in quite this manner.  Beautiful random placement with soft faux finishing creates such a soothing design yet with rich detail!"

"One of the highlights of the rooms Susan did for us is the stone-reveal in the breakfast nook, around the kitchen bar, and entry ways.  Everyone wants to touch the stone to see if it is real, which of course it is not.  Susan skillfully trowelled the stone and walls to achieve the San Miguel style we were seeking. 

In our dining room, Susan gave us a Tuscan villa inspired ceiling.  She created a design and color palette that somewhat mirrors the dining room rug.  There is an awe factor that everyone has truly admired.

I recommend Susan to anyone who desires style and uniqueness!"
