Private Commission: Study in home - Bristol, 2024

"Six months ago we moved into our flat and I wanted to redecorate my office.

I thought that, to make it look bigger and more interesting, the walls could be painted white with a blue ceiling - then I thought: why not make the ceiling look like the sky with clouds floating in it, going into the night sky on the back wall. I also wanted, for fun, the picture of a gargoyle in one corner, and a cherub on the opposite wall.

When I met Nina she completely got the concept and developed it further - she has more than fulfilled my original vision. The cherub looks like it is blowing a trumpet towards a rather wonderful gargoyle, the sky goes from daylight to darkness with the night sky looking like the milky way - what could have been kitsch if not naff has become a wonderful ensemble.
 

Nina has been wonderful to work with. She checked with us every step of the way, respectfully coming up with creative suggestions, working quietly while my wife and I got on with our lives. Her time keeping was impeccable, when her work was finished she cleared up thoroughly, she was both fun to be around and very contained, I hope we can offer her more work in the future."
