Faux Finish Makes Illusion Beautiful

   In this world where artistry meets architecture, Joe Rairick of Hightide Custom Painting and Faux Design spends his days creating beautiful and elegant interiors in some of Southwest Florida’s most magnificent homes. Fine wood finishes such as bird’s eye maple, burled mahogany, and the use of raised and embedded techniques create dimensional designs that cast a shimmering veil of color—and yet these are but a sampling of the applications available.
   Artfully combining seamlessly painted woodwork, mixed with the clever use of crown mouldings and designer doors, Rairick can add depth and value to any space—like by his use of an exquisitely textured metallic-gold luminous finish on a coffered ceiling.
   With a keen eye for color and texture, and the ability to understand it’s importance, Rairick says, “New ideas come from everywhere...from my interest in architecture, the patterns found in stone structures, from various tiles, or the look of leather, or from a priceless antique, even from nature’s designs found at the seashore. As an artist, I have options to incorporate the elements of nature into wonderful dimensional designs.”
   Rairick adds, “The patterns I design will uniquely fulfill the vision I have seen for my client. I follow my creative promptings to expressively personalize each room. There’s a look I’m after in the face and eyes of my client, that words cannot express. I want my clients to anticipate that something irresistible is awaiting them.”
