I’ve worked as a scenic painter for the better part of a decade, painting for various shops across NYC and LA including Bednark Studios, Square Design Inc., 11th Street Workshop, Cinnabar and Depict 33, as well as for independent clients.  Clients range from companies, production houses, celebrities, and more.  I usually work as a lead, overseeing a team of scenics to make sure that all scenic elements for a job get completed on time and with a high standard of quality in our techniques and applications. The work consists of prepping the pieces coming in from fabrication/carpentry, prepping the pieces for a finish (skimcoating, bondoing, patching, and priming) and then painting, layering and/or texturing depending on the finish. Each piece I meticulously finish to the clients liking and to match the approved samples, and then install the final product on-site. This work ranges from more theatrical applications with a heavy emphasis on faux finishes, all the way to high end architectural millwork with urethane spray finishes, and everything in between.
