Murals, Fine Art and Faux for your home or office

Welcome to Tina Marie's Portfolio!

Tina Marie's fresh take of typical faux finishing shows her talent for creating elegant, timeless and livable finishes with her signature mix of texture, metallics and stains. She has been the owner of Decor & After, LLC for more than 19 years.

Walk through and explore her applications in one of her newest locations, Hessler Design Center, Six Mile Design and Trade Center, Iona Kitchen and Bath and Harbourview Gallery to name a few. Other paintings have been featured on the cover of Artisphere, the publication of the international Decorative Artisans League, including an article and photo layout on the mural process.She participated in the "Paint the Cape" multi day in a plene Aire artistic competition and juried art exhibition benefiting the Cape Coral Community Foundation. Her quick draw painting of Run Agrounds Cafe was one of five paintings sold. Her work has been displayed in the gallery of the Alliance for the Arts, sold in local art galleries and juried into shows such as the popular CAPE CORAL ART FESTIVAL.

Tina has donated murals to various at home and abroad including local daycares, churches and schools such as Fort Myers Beach Baptist, Good Shepard of Cape Coral, Haiti Baptist Mission and The Cancer Society.

From the enthusiasm for designing and executing to completing the final detail, Tina Marie has a love for paint that is apparent as proven by a few statements below by Happy Clients!The feeling is more artful than faux.

Tina likes to say, with humor, her favorite color is "clear" since she can't choose only one hue and clear matches everything.

For her, its how the room makes you feel when you're in it, not just the way it looks.

Hi Tina. It was exciting to meet the artist behind the beautiful painting I bought. Your piece of art really captured the feeling you get when you are in Run Agrounds. I loved it and it is hung proudly on my sister’s wall in Toronto, and she also loves it. I went on to your website and you have some very, very nice material. I particularly liked the murals.

I also truthfully think your painting below captures the feeling that you get during live music nights – lots of motion and activity. I get positive vibrations from it and you seem to have a knack for capturing the spirit of the places in our community. Awesome!

Dear Tina Marie,

We would like to take a moment to thank you for the terrific job on the ceiling of my office. It truly is a Work of Art. Your creative skills and artistic talents have made this work an heirloom.

We have had so many compliments, as it’s the first thing that draws your eyes upward and you stand in awe. You have created so many masterpieces in our home, however, this is the best yet.

Creating the background mural for my pheasant “in flight” ranks right up there, as well.

We sincerely appreciate all you have created for us over the past years, they are so beautiful and professional, and I know Patti is already planning the next project.

Thank you again for sharing your artistic talents and making our home a true showplace.

Best personal regards,

Bob and Patti

"It is gorgeous. I love it and you are a true artist. I hope you took a picture to put in your portfolio. You are the best. Thanks for so much. Have a wonderful holiday."

"Dear Tina Marie,

Ron and I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for not just the mural, but all the painting you did for us. I wanted our new Florida home to have that "wow factor" and you along with Cherie made it happen.

We've had alot of family and friends visit us this winter season and they all marveled at your work. Most of all we LOVE the mural of Aruba...I always wished I had blown that picture up to hang in our home up north. Now we can see it every day in our lanai. You truly are a fabulous artist! Please feel free to use us as reference. Be well and hope to see you again sometime."

Sincerely,

Linda
