Wallingford Center, CT Artists & Artisans

“MJP Studios is my go-to faux painting studio. Marc and I have executed many memorable projects together-- including a sky blue lacquer ceiling for one Master Bedroom, and a gold leaf ceiling (pictured below) for another. I can rely upon MJP's team to do timely estimates and provide reliable service with a smile, which does not always come hand-in-hand with artistic talent. The piece-de-resistance, however, is the quality and craftsmanship Marc brings to the project, virtually guaranteeing an amazed and grateful client. Marc's team and his own talent elevates a project from stylish to astounding!”

“Sharon has painted a number of murals in our home in East Texas. Her work is outstanding. People walk up to touch them, so sure they are going to feel something other than a flat wall. Her backgound in Graphic Art and her years of experience as a signpainter prepared her to be an 'AWESOME" muralist. She takes your ideas and makes them a showstopping piece of art in your home. I really can't say enough about her work. She keeps her work area very clean. She is a lovely person to be around and we have become good friends. She has a God given talent and is one of those people who leaves a piece of herself in her work. I am planning a future project with her now.”

“Sandra is a pleasure to work with and an extremely talented artist. We commissioned a fireball as a surprise birthday gift and wanted it to represent all the things that brought happiness and joy to the recipient. She was able to incorporate all of those elements in the design and worked carefully to make sure it was perfect. She even made herself available for the "surprise" delivery and installation. The end result is a truly unique and functional piece of art that brings joy to all that get to spend time around the fire.”

“John it has been a pleasure to work with you over the last twenty years. Your work keeps on giving. I woke up today and looked at my fabulous mirror and was thankful all over again to have such a lovely mirror in my guest house. I know there are many things in my home that I forget to "see" and appreciate as I see them everyday so I was so pleased to re-see my mirror with the same enthusiasm that I had when I first got it from you. Thanks again for creating unique and long lasting pieces. Jessica Hall Grace”

“I highly recommend The artist Don Wunderlee. I have known Mr. Wunderlee and his artwork for 25 years. He is experienced, incredibly committed to his love of painting and dedicated to continuing to evolve as an artist. You can look back over his works and see periods of focus on a particular style. He clearly has in depth knowledge of paint on canvas and does amazing things with it. I have admired his works in galleries and exhibitions for many years and finally this past holiday season decided to purchase a large painting as a gift to my husband and myself. Doing business with Mr. Wunderlee was a pleasure. He was interested in the space where the painting was going, the colors and character of the room (our living room) and what we were drawn to in his pieces. He offered suggestions...showing me a variety of his works in keeping with what he learned of our interests and home. Then he gave us time to think over the decision. He was a real pleasure to work with ....very thoughtful, straight-forward, and honest. He is very customer respectful and genuinely looking to satisfy. The painting by Wunderlee which we now have in our home is incredible and both my husband and I, as well as our children and house guests, focus on it often in appreciation of this gifted artist. I hope to buy another piece of his art one day. They are treasures.”

“Linda creates from her heart, and her art is exceptional. Soothing, healing, beautiful work that I'm honoured to have in my home.”

“When moving into our new house, it was extremely important to transform both of my children's rooms into something extraordinary. Hiring Toni, from Mural Envy was a brilliant decision. She was open to all of my creative input, and translated it to true works of art. Her vision was impeccable. The murals were completed in a timely manner, and Toni was a joy to be around. My children are thrilled with their rooms. The quality of work is truly "magazine-worthy."”

“Sandy McRae, owner and founder of Distinctive Finishes LLC has been a respected contributor and collaborator in many of my design projects. Her abilities are not restricted to any one style or period. From either spectrum of contemporary sleek to traditional murals her attention to detail is always the driving force on any commission.”

“I have known Patrick for 7 years, we have collaborated together, and spent many hours sharing ideas on paintings, faux treatments and business strategies. Patrick is a gifted artist that works tirelessly to better his skill, he is as talented with a brush as he is giving his clientele innovative and unique mural designs. I would give Patrick the highest of recommendations .”

“Marie Ricci's talent for creating a product that completes the "punch list" on a job is exquisite. I am a stickler for detail and believe in quality rather than quantity. The fondness I developed for Marie's very unique and beautiful ceiling medallions is obvious; I have ordered 3 of them from her so far. Two of them I proudly display in my own home and a third I just purchased for my niece to add to her daughter's nursery. The "sweet dreams" chandelier medallion painted a beautiful dreamy custom peach color far surpassed my (and my niece's) expectations. It is just beautiful. Combine that with Marie's efficient, friendly and professional approach in meeting her customers personal needs as well as a fast turn around in getting a product completed and shipped out to her clients results in impeccable service. I am a great believer in supporting talented local artists in their endeavors and buying products that are made right here in our country. I highly recommend Marie Ricci and all her wonderful creations to make a house a home; they are that special.”
