Turn junky into funky, trash into treasure or create a mood to soothe.

Ask Claire Ward Murphy. A decorative specialist in Fine Art faux finish techniques, murals and wall color selection, I can bring your Home Décor or commercial project to life with "hands on" instruction to "do-it-yourself" or I can do it for you.

Formerly the decorator for Sherwin Williams in Covington, Louisiana, I am a member of the New Orleans Arts Council, a muralist, and a mixed media artist with more than ten years experience with many different mediums, techniques and decorative products.

Whatever your budget and whatever your desire, I specialize in my customer’s personalities, collaborating and executing ideas to completion. Browse through my gallery of murals, faux finishes, original pen & ink prints (hand water-colored), mixed media "fresco-like" paintings, public art projects, and photographs. I am available for any type of custom commissioned art work.
