"There is only one admirable form of the imagination - the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen."   Sean O'Faolain

Staircase Murals -- Faux Marble Columns

As a high traffic area, the staircase is the perfect showplace for decorative treatments of the walls or the stairs themselves. Durable techniques are employed to maximize the painting's lifespan. From elaborate trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye) murals to stamped patterns to calligraphic quotes, Hannon Art Works will create a staircase that will "elevate" you and your home.

Children's Silhouettes

The perfect addition to a difficult-to-decorate space at the top landing
of a staircase. Exact likenesses of the children's profiles were captured
and then placed into a day at the beach. Taking only two days to
complete, this is an affordable, high impact design solution.

Water Lilies and Bonsai Wisteria

A beautifully designed staircase was further enhanced
with coordinating murals. The aged patina pot with a bonsai
wisteria tree is placed on a painted faux marble wall.

Staircase Quote

"In a bowl to sea went wise men three on a brilliant night in June.
They carried a net and their hearts were set on fishing up the moon."

A Tree Filled Nook

This client wanted to place a chair and some greenery in this nook,
but didn't have the space to do both. The wall & ceiling painting
of a spring tree solved the problem beautifully.

Stepping Stones Hanging Mural

Commissioned for a farmhouse staircase in Glocester, Rhode Island,
this mural is full of important symbols to the client. Hung with drapery
rods, it can follow the family through generations.

Historical Floor Marbling

In this 1805 home only a turkey feather and a rag were used on the plain gray
floor to create a historically accurate reproduction of the original surface.
Christine was honored when the home was granted the 2006 RI State
Preservation Award for an outstanding commitment to historic preservation.

Beach Rose Landing

A pleasant ending to a climb down the stairs. The painted rock colors
were chosen to match the strong flooring pattern in this
Warwick, Rhode Island finished basement.
