Peter's Iris Backsplash 

This stove backsplash was designed for a professional horticulturalist who owns a nursery. Irises are one of his favorites.  

This 36 inch wide X 18 inch high (91 cm X 46 cm) backslash is made up of 40 square tiles, each 4 5/16 inches (11 cm).

​This is the original colour pencil drawing for the client. It is inspired by a 1857 woodblock print by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. 

Marvin's Kitchen Backsplash

Goal: Brighten the kitchen and add some whimsy with hand-painted kitchen tiles

​This is the kitchen of an adventurer who loves colour, but wanted a bright white backsplash with a few painted image tiles placed periodically around to set off his beautiful teal cupboards and sparkling white counter.
