Texture Painting Professionals in Austin, TX

“I've admired Jamie Story's work for some time and when my husband and I decided we needed to have some wall decor that was a little more mature than framed posters, we found this glorious masterpiece by Jamie Story...It was fate that we got it, and I still find lovely new details to wonder about every time I look at this painting. I love that it's painted on a panel of Ampersand Encausticbord which gives it an interesting texture and enhances the iridescent "micro-pigment" ink and acrylic paint. Story's technique with these paints and inks combined on the wood panel creates these cool, tentacle-like clusters of color. The finished piece is truly amazing and gazing at it has become somewhat of a spiritual practice (however corny that may sound, it's true). It has so many dimensions, so much power in each rich layer of color, it provides me with a meditative-type of refuge. I am surprised (yet honored) that mine is the first review for Jamie Story's Fine Art Paintings and I highly recommend her work for anyone who feels compelled to display really beautiful art in their home (or office) that will invite the onlooker to connect with a beautifully hypnotic piece of art. Each time a new visitor sees our painting they compliment and ask about it. I am happy to have something so magical lighting up my bedroom. Plus, I love feeling so financially savvy as to invest in something that will likely be worth millions someday...As my painting has already become my most priceless possession -- if one can possess a piece of fine art? More likely, it's the other way around...”

“I first saw Julie's paintings online. I loved them and I emailed her right away to ask if I could see 6 of them. She responded the same day and we set up a time. While the paintings were lovely online, they were all the more beautiful up close. Julie was warm, welcoming, and I felt no pressure at all to make a purchase. We talked about the way the paintings would fit in to my home and she listened to my questions and thoughts. I am not an impulse buyer, but I was ready to buy one of her paintings that day. I am so happy that I did. I am hopeful that I will be able to buy another one soon. I look forward to having Julie over to see her painting when I hang it. The whole experience was a pleasure.”

“I have purchased two of Dawn Winter's paintings. We changed our very 80's dated decor to a much more peaceful and modern feel. Once the flooring, paint colors and furniture was updated, we looked for artwork to reflect our home's new feel. We were very pleased to find Dawn's work and it really makes the rooms. Our family room has one of her earlier works of art that is like flowers in the rain to me. The other piece is a bold work of art that is hanging in our teen room. Both look perfect for the rooms.”

“Velvet has refinished two bathrooms for me as well as painted two large paintings for my dens. One of the bathrooms was a huge project and it is stunning. She did an Italian plaster and faux painted the walls and ceilings and when I thought it couldn't get any better, she added Swarovski crystals to the walls. It is beautiful. She also painted the cabinets which I thought was the perfect color and then she added another touch to the molded part of the cabinet and brought it to a new level. The other project was a powder room that after painting the walls and ceiling she stenciled randomly on the walls and added a beautiful finish to the ceiling. I am extremely happy with all of the work. What I do also consider a huge advantage to working with Velvet is that she listens to your ideas, your thoughts and your likes and dislikes and when she is done you realize that she did in fact listen to you and that is another reason you are so pleased with her work. I will definitely work with Velvet again.”
