I sculpted a facade for this private aquarium a while back out of plaster and then faux finished it with limewashes.

I attempted diligently to avoid the kitsch factor by making the rock cracks as realistic as possible, and sculpturing the breakaway areas so that, structurally and architecturally, there would be an authenticity and continuity throughout the room.
It was a pleasure to be a part of this project.
The homeowner is avid fan of sportfishing and stocks the aquarium with native fish caught off the New Jersey coast. He certainly spared no expense on his aquarium. I'm pretty proud of this project.

I have ideas... tons of them...
Though most of my work is in NJ and NY, I have traveled all across the country,
so don't be shy; give me a call @ 908.334.9995
I'm a pretty low pressure salesperson so feel free to discuss an idea with me if you think I might be a good fit for your project.
Maybe we will be putting together your "million dollar room(s) next!"
By the way... the plaster work was nowhere near a million bucks..... lol.
