Christine McIntyre-Hannon Christine has been an artist since age five. She attended St. Mary's Academy, Bay View in East Providence, RI where she began her serious art and calligraphy training. Accepted to the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth's School of Visual & Performing Arts, she graduated Magna Cum Laude majoring in Illustration/Visual Design with a minor in Calligraphy. Upon graduation she was hired as a graphic designer for Verizon Yellow Pages and stayed for 13 years in various management positions. Christine voluntarily left Verizon in 2003 to pursue mural painting and faux finishing full time. Christine was juried into the National Society of Mural Painters in March of 2006. In high demand for her flexibility of design styles that complement the owner's taste and surroundings, she works on both long and short term projects. She has studied Faux Finishing at RISD, and her 25 years of antiques appreciation uniquely qualify her to create, embellish or replicate historically accurate designs. Christine and her husband Joseph have their home and studio in Harmony, Rhode Island with their children and terrier mix "Theibaud."

Joseph P. Hannon, Jr. Joseph always knew he wanted to be an artist. At Needham High School in Massachusetts, he prepared for acceptance to the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth's School of Visual & Performing Arts, where he graduated with honors majoring in Illustration/Visual Design with a focus in Art History. Upon graduation he was hired as a sign designer for AA Thrifty Sign in Warwick, RI where he remained for 2 years. After he and his wife Christine adopted their 9 year old twin boys in 1995, Joseph taught art for a year at Amesbury Middle School in Massachusetts. Upon moving back to Rhode Island in 1997, he became the K-8 art teacher at St. Philip School in Greenville, RI and in 2005 he also became the Pre K-8 art teacher at St. Teresa School in Pawtucket, RI. Joseph's constant interaction with children makes him uniquely qualified to design dream rooms for kids, using exciting, uninhibited color combinations that capture the joy of childhood. Joseph is as passionate about art history, studying at museums and galleries throughout the Northeast and Florida in order to create environments for his clients that capture the great emotion and draftsmanship of the masters before us.

In 1992, both Christine and Joseph traveled to Romania with the non-profit organization Save the Lost Souls International to paint murals in an orphanage outside Onesti. Although the conditions were quite difficult in the recently war torn Romania, Chris & Joe brought smiles to the faces of approximately 200 children, many with AIDS, by painting bright images of silly seascapes & hot air balloons.
