When it comes to faux finishing, with Masterworks Artistry the sky really is the limit. Nothing enriches walls like a wonderful faux finish. Faux finishes are painted simulations of other materials. They are an imitation of a natural material like distressed wood, leather, metal or stones. Faux treatments are usually less expensive, and have other advantages, including durability, color uniformity, and availability.

Masterworks Artistry creates custom finishes designed to enhance the environment you live in. From traditional to contemporary, elegant to eccentric, there is likely a custom finish that Masterworks Artistry can create for your project. And when it comes to decorative art, the sky really is the limit!

Canvas Paintings

Demand is escalating for custom canvas paintings. Carla has been commissioned to paint portraits, well-known landscapes in South Carolina, and unique landscapes that have special meaning to her clients.

Murals and Trompe L'oeil

Murals are large paintings, most commonly created on expansive walls in private homes, as well as on public buildings. Carla strives to create a realism that fools the spectator's eye into thinking they are looking at a genuine three-dimensional image. She recently completed a mastery training course, and plans to pursue this passion in the years to come.

Trompe L'oeil is a French term which means "trick the eye," and is sometimes called illusionism. This unique style of painting gives the appearance of three-dimensional or photographic realism. It has flourished since The Renaissance, and can be playful or intellectually serious.

Carla Schuchman, Decorative Artist

Carla has had the opportunity to work with some of the best designers in the South. Based in beautiful Pawleys Island, SC, her work transcends state lines — from North Carolina to Texas (where she was raised). Whether you are working with a designer on a specific project, or one-on-one with a client, you can be guaranteed that the entire experience will be gratifying.

An ambition of Carla's has been to cross the line from faux finishes and mural work, and venture into the realm of canvas paintings and prints. She has been commissioned to paint local scenery for private collections. Some of these paintings are now available and can be purchased directly from us. A select few will be available only as limited edition prints.

Carla's upcoming work includes more original works of art. She plans to enroll in several additional master training courses over the next several years.

Carla has extensive experience in commercial and residential surface design. Her unique finishes combine a flair for color and perspective, which sets her work apart.
