'Aurora Lovin' - Tracie Dunne Design Group Client Brief - Interior Designer, Tracie Rodwell Dunne, also owner of the Beaumont School of Decorating was newly married and newly ensconced in Brisbane's Aurora Tower. Having decorated her apartment full of Gustav Klimt styled furniture, she commissioned us to design a large artwork for her outdoor balcony. Tracie wanted, along with her new husband Chris, to experience our Private Adult Workshop and for the artwork to be able to withstand the weather. At Tailored Artworks Pty Ltd, we pride ourselves in challenge and quality. This holds true for art that is created for outdoor spaces. Artworks on canvas positioned under a balcony's roof aren't a problem, but we paint these in the steadfast Resene Multi Purpose Range and thrice seal them with our non-yellowing, no VOC environmentally freindly sealant. Our Strategy - We designed a sexy couple, reminiscent of their relationship and in the Klimt style that portrayed their world of clouds and light rain and an idea of buildings in a rich patchwork. The Outcome - "Dear Sharron, My husband Christopher and I would like to thank you very much for the 'Private Adult Workshop' we did with you the other day. We had such a great time and absolutely love the end result. I can’t believe we have such a wonderful piece of art that we personally had input into, it makes it even more special. We will not only treasure the artwork but the experience is something we will always remember. You are such a talented lady and so generous with your time and energy and we thank you so much for helping us to great such a wonderful piece of art that matches our decor perfectly." Tracie Rodwell-Dunne, Director & Senior Interior Designer, Tracie Dunne Design Group

'The Picasso House' - Lisa Coulburn, If Design Client Brief - Aaron requested we design and install artworks in the Picasso style that would give him MAGIC ... that was his brief. His 4 story Bulimba home overlooking the Brisbane river, featured a natural theme with a modern edge but it did need some 'Wow'. Aaron also required an Interior Designer to apply decor changes throughout. Our Strategy - Sharron chose Interior Designer Lisa Colburn from If Design, who specialises in natural decors, to work with her on Aaron's home. Media Room: Sharron wanted something energetic, theatrical and musical. An African theme matched the earthen orange door and heavy furniture while a musical theme suited the cubist style inspired by Aaron's many musical instruments. We painted the skin tones white, black and mixed race as a play of positive and negative which is very Picasso and visually dynamic. The artworks can be hung in any array should Aaron ever move. Dining Room: For the re-design of the dining room, we wanted something rich, with a little splash of green, a little naughty and with a wine, food and good times theme. Researching Picasso periods, Sharron found many drawings of figures and noticed that Picasso had a phase where he was interested in the classical period or Greco-Roman art and mythology. Putting two and two together, she created a Dionysian Feast ie the Greek God Dionysus who was famous for his orgies of wine and women, but Sharron painted it in a most delicate manner, reflective of drawing and focusing on positive versus negative space, relevant to Picasso's work. Sharron provided all the pantone colours to Lisa who was then able to design a rich, oriental but modern flavoured decor perfectly enhancing Sharron's original oil painting. Bedroom: For a restful bedroom, and to create an artwork a woman would also appreciate, Sharron, inspired by an artwork from the Picasso period, designed a restful painting which is beautifully accentuated by Lisa's silver metallic decor. During the art's creative process, Aaron requested stronger shades than Sharron and Lisa originally had in mind, but a careful composition leaving darker colours in on the bottom right corner working with the natural play of light, did the trick. The fact that greens are receding colours and the silver metallics blended into the oil painting's vignettes, while reflecting light, meant the size of this abstract wasn't overly dominating. Upstairs Hall: For the study hallway, we wanted to paint a portrait of Aaron to personalise the space. Whilst not overly keen on the idea of using himself, he was happy to have someone's face there. The result is Sharron's idea of the kind of woman she thinks any man would love; 'Nun Behind Woman!' So, painted in oils, as all the Picasso House's artworks were, this piece adds welcome curves to soften the space and to relax the atmosphere. Downstairs Hall: For the dark downstairs hall leading past the media room to the kitchen and dining area, we chose to create an 18 panel set of canvases 30 x 30cm square each hung in grid pattern all drawn in charcoal as artist studies of all the above Picasso styled artworks. The drawings later had oil colour added and when dry, sprayed with a gloss varnish for longevity and effect. This added a welcome style, light and colour. The Outcome - "I have used Sharron's services both for my business and for my home. She knows how to capture what a client wants and always gives you updates via email with progress photo's. I found this to work really well as when the art arrives its exactly what you were after. I would recommend Sharron to anyone who wants to have their ideas created in art that they can hang on their wall!" Aaron Zamykal, client

'The Young Apartment' - Kate Davis Steer Interiors Client Brief - Brisbane Interior Designer, Kate Davis Steer, commissioned us to work with her to create her vision for a living room, hallway and 2 bedrooms for a Brisbane city apartment on the river. Living Room - Kate designed this herself and asked Sharron to create it. The white background of the painting is soft, with textured, warm brushy tones of iridescence, meshed with impasto so as to resemble the movement of the river outside and the glow and shimmer of the sun. The large floral motif adds a big punch of colour and focal point to the space, balanced with stripes which again, embue the sun on water effect. Hallway/Kitchen - Kate requested art inspired by the vases on the sideboard. The corresponding artwork “Young Lounge” is seen not far away and so we carried the floral aspect as if by breeze, through to 'Wind In The Kitchen'. The playful lines add movement to the space and tie design elements together across the open plan living area. Young Man's Bedroom - The client mentioned her son's love of hot, rich, racy reds. Sharron suggested to Kate a geometric design for it's masculine appeal. The reds have been carefully toned and shaded whilst the silver vase and its tinted yellow green occupants, are replicated as delicate trims, softening the painting and mimicking the drawer handles. As the room needed texture, sectioned areas were masked off and paint, fused with impasto gel, was very thickly trowelled and, with other hues, used to create streaks. The Girl's Room - The seven paintings, inspired by the bed linen, create a Parisian city and park theme. Four small floral canvases balance the space above the beds, and add design component. Sharron designed the triptych to balance the empty wall space either side of the slightly Art Deco drawer set, infusing abundant colour. As the room has an easterly aspect, the crisp, vibrant colours keep the ambience bright and warm for winter, yet fresh as Spring for Summer. The Outcome - "I commissioned Sharron to produce artworks for one of my clients who has an apartment on the river. We wanted a very specific look requiring pieces to compliment the custom made soft furnishings, furniture and accessories. Her attention to detail, flexibility and ability to interpret was fabulous and created a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. The outcome couldn’t have been better! The artworks Sharron produced were not only beautiful, but also fit into their environment beautifully, enhancing the design I had installed and my client couldn’t have been happier." Kate Davis Steer, Interior Designer

'Textural piece' - Ros Hines Designs Client Brief - Designer Ros Hines showed us a magazine clipping of a Noosa artist’s style and we designed something similar for her meeting/lounge space. Our Strategy - Ros wanted a low contrasting image with soft, fuzzy textures and muted colours. We created the artwork with shapes familiar to her lounge and carefully added tinges of yellow greens to balance her decor's palette. The Outcome - "After unsuccessfully searching for artwork to complement the colours of the surrounding decor, I commissioned Sharron to custom design a canvas. Sharron was given a cushion cover, tuff's of wool from a rug and paint swatches of an adjoining feature wall colour. After viewing the first draft, Sharron was asked to soften the artwork, and introduce more colour and texture. Sharron was very accommodating in making these changes, which barely breeched my budget. I will not hesitate when recommending Sharron to my clients, to achieve the desired effect in finishing a room - "the icing on the cake". Ros Hines, Ros Hines Designs
