A shadowy forest mural in a vineyard tasting room. Watercolors softly brushed over expanses of silver leaf in a meditation space. Yards of simulated jewel-encrusted French lace winding down a staircase corridor. For each of her projects, fine artist and decorative painter Caroline Lizarraga delivers an exquisitely unique work of architectural art. With a mastery born of classical training and almost 25 years in practice, Lizarraga wields her brushes and tools to create pietra dura, expressive modern graphics, and natural scenes, pushing the boundaries of her discipline with inventive techniques and materials.
