I have spent my life in the world of color as an artist/designer and for over twelve years as an Architectural Colorist. I am passionate about assisting individuals and businesses with interior and exterior color selection projects, helping each client find what I call their 'color comfort zone' and also offering satisfying solutions they might never have tried.
My approach to color selection is holistic and has evolved from direct experience painting walls and noting the results combined with knowledge of color as the most important component of interior/exterior design. I sensitively combine my ability to translate each client's needs for a particular space or building into appropriate and pleasing paint color.
"We are thrilled with the dramatic yet soothing palette Corey created with us. Our home is a deep Green Remodel of a 1915 Craftsman, and Corey revitalized the somewhat musty and masculine original vibe of the house with her choice of color. We have different colors in most of the rooms, yet the collective feeling is one of harmony and grace. Often I wasn't quite sure about the daring combinations and deeper, darker colors she chose, but when I went with a "safer" alternative, I found that she was correct. This was especially true on our exterior. We routinely have neighbors stop and stare at our home and ask about the colors. Most importantly, my husband and I both need a sense of sanctuary in our home as we have crazed work lives, and we feel Corey's colors achieved this beyond our dreams. We give Corey, with tremendous gratitude, our highest recommendation."

'Color on large architectural surfaces is not like any other color application process...color reads differently in every lighting situation...the same color that radiates beautifully in one room may look really dreadful in another simply because of radical differences in lighting and surrounding reflective surfaces.'
I can also assist you with color selection for any surface in your environment including: window coverings, carpeting, masonry, roofing and flooring.
My business is a creative service and I strive to enter each home and workspace with consideration and care. I look forward to meeting with you about your unique project. |
