About Us
We Dream in Colors
We are a husband-and-wife team of fine artists who turned our love and knowledge of the fine and decorative arts into a 35-year-old company that creates custom surface designs for the architectural and interior design industry.
We met as students at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and transformed our arts practice into our company, Arteriors. What began as initial work in theater design as scene painters and props makers evolved into the decorative arts company we are today, specializing in mural arts, gilding, Venetian and decorative plaster, faux finishes, metallic finish, metal leaf and designer finishes among others. Our work is for residential and commercial clients in Boston, Cape Cod, the greater New England area, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, New York, the Caribbean, Florida, and Atlanta.
Arteriors, based in Natick, MA, handles professional design work from idea and design creation through to finished application in a versatile, detail-oriented, expert manner.
Stephanie, with a particular affinity for the Hudson River School, oversees the aesthetic aspects of a job – from researching and designing a trompe l’oeil application for a client’s hallway; mapping out an extensive mural for a gracious New England dining room; or creating faux finishes for the ceiling of a historic building’s ballroom - and manages her team to brings the client’s design vision to fulfillment.
Amiel’s background as a paint chemist and experience at handling large civil and commercial projects brings his extensive art material understanding and organizational skills to tackle industrial sized projects that can often have a construction union staff component.
We show up as flexible team players with our clients, knowing how to handle professional design work and able to pivot as needed along the way, capable of making last minute adjustments as we near completion. We are known as masterful at taking the design brief and bringing it to a successful design solution and completion.
Dedicated to using eco-friendly decorative paint and plaster materials that are not only beautiful when applied, but responsible, we use water-based paints and lime-based plasters, such as Venetian plasters, and American clay surface finishes which are safe, natural, and sustainable and can improve indoor air quality.
We dream in colors and we love what we do.
