This review is long overdue. 4 years ago I remodeled my bathroom. Coming from an interior design…read morebackground, I'm extremely particular about who I have work on my home. I put a lot of time, money and creativity into the remodel, and therefore I was very particular about who I wanted to work with me on it. I hired Carole to paint back in the details on a vintage, Asian TV cabinet, that I turned into a bathroom vanity. Needless to say this wasn't an easy job. The vanity was initially orange and black, however, I had it painted a light turquoise color. When this was done, it completely concealed all of the intricate detail work underneath it. My former faux painter tried to come in and repaint all of the details back in, however, wasn't able to. The vanity has raised figures on the doors, which take a very delicate touch to get just right. There's also intricate gold fretwork around the doors as well as on the sides. When Carole came in, we sat down together, and discussed how I wanted it to look. We went over colors, different shades of gold, the overall feel of it, etc. She painted in not only on the raised figures but also elaborate artwork on the doors as well. Luckily, I had taken pictures of the cabinet prior to having it painted, so she was able to reference the previous artwork, and not just duplicate it, but make it 100 times better! It turned out to be a masterpiece! It is one of the star attractions of the remodel. Everyone who sees the bathroom is absolutely starstruck at how unique it and beautiful it is, and Carole's expert hand was an integral part of why that is. I can't recommend her enough and if you're lucky enough to have her to work in your home, you'll feel the same way. Her skills are easily on par with those of the old world masters. I hope to work with her again in the future, as I have a couple of projects in mind that I would like her to bring to life.Thanks again, Carole. You were a joy to work with.

Unfortunately, it received some damage requiring a good portion of it to be restored. Carole was recommended. It was a process and took much effort but she was able to restore the mural and what she was able to do was beyond belief. Some areas so little was left, but was able to keep the mural true to form. She is an incredible artist in her own right and we are very happy she consented to do this job.

I've worked with Amanda several times and she's always been prompt and professional. She's most…read moreknown for her eye catching murals, but she can do faux finishing too. She's incredibly creative and a great listener-she wants to make you happy! Her quality of work is just great, and she's always got a head full of ideas. Custom work is never cheap, and she is a true artist. If you're looking for a cheap job, don't hire an artist. If you're clear on what you want, don't change the game on her in the middle of the project, then the work she'll do for you will be fantastic and a great value.

We did some relandscaping/remodeling/updating and had the wild idea to find a muralist to come in…read moreand create art that would integrate the look/feel of our outside space (a xeriscape) with our inside space. We contacted Amanda and set up a meeting, and decided to have her create a mural flowing over 2 of the four walls of our master bedroom. She arrived on time, and listened to our ideas. She presented three concepts; each a successful interpretation of the concept we had described at our first meeting. It is her practice to have a very clear sketch of the final work product prior to painting on the wall. No surprises; you know exactly how your walls are going to look before she starts painting. What she didn't know is that I had recently given up a 20+ year career in design and art direction and no longer had a creative outlet. Kudos to Amanda for patiently going through the various changes/revisions to work through to a final version that my wife and I both love. The last part of this included her providing a computer rendered image that I was able to bring into Photoshop and make the final changes to. We took off on a vacation leaving Amanda to do her thing. Upon our return, the project was complete and correct in every detail. Ultimately, the payoff is how it looks. I've uploaded one "before" and three "after"photographs.

The event I had here to celebrate my birthday was sheerly memorable and I can't say enough. The…read moreentire experience was beyond my expectations and I couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and filled with creativity. The setup was perfect and beautifully arranged with canvases ready for our class to paint. Autumn and her daughter were so kind to even offer to blow up some balloons for the birthday occasion. One of the other perks of this event was that you can bring whatever you want to eat and drink, which made the night even more special. My high school best friends went all out, catering my favorite Filipino dish, Pancit Palabok, alongside their own delicious culinary appetizers like steak crostini. Since I was celebrating such a milestone birthday, my friends from all walks of life contributed to the potluck feast. We also had Korean Kimbap, Greek hummus & chips, flaky Baklava, creamy Leche Flan, and so much more. The mix of flavors, cultures, and homemade dishes made the night feel even more personal and heartwarming. It was great coming back to Westwood Village which brought me instant memories while I was at UCLA. There is something definitely vibrant about Westwood Village and I love feeling its energy. I do have to give the biggest shoutout to the amazing owner, Autumn Flynn, who was so patient with all of us. She walked us through the step by step process of painting the "Inner Goddess within Ourselves," which made the experience so great. Her guidance and passion made the evening feel therapeutic and allowed everyones creativity shine in the most beautiful way. This was such an unforgettable experience that I hope to experience again very very soon.

My husband and daughter were at a different event and my pups and cat were at home :) I haven't had one of these done since my daughter was 6. I had some family photos in my phone and he was able to draw my family just based off photos I had :) It came out SO incredible!! Sean is very talented and AWESOME!! I want to say that the quality of his art skills is comparable to someone working at Disney but maybe even better but on a smaller piece of paper. It's almost like anime/ cartoon like! Very impressed !!! Everyone turned out so cute and perfect! What an awesome party favor to take home and save forever ! So worth it. Def will want to hire Sean for an upcoming event. So glad I had it done as I almost didn't due to the party ending. Lastly, don't forget to write on back date, names and age ;)

Following this experience, it is clear that Michael is the best muralist in Los Angeles!! Michael met with me on short notice on a Sunday afternoon to review the space. Following our initial meeting, Michael and the wonder that is Vivache Designs agreed to meet personally with the client in order to create a custom Art Mural like none other in Downtown Los Angeles. Upon meeting with my client, Michael spent time, multiple sessions, getting to know my client and his inner desires and thoughts. This connection with my client went well beyond the average Muralist, and it allowed the two to connect on a level that would assure the most exquisite outcome, and Vivache Designs outdid all of our expectations. The amazing Mural art that Michael created in a timely manner using the highest quality materials and techniques serve as more than a conversation piece, they have become a daily inspiration for my client. I will no doubt call upon Michael and Vivache Designs for all of my future personal and professional artistic and Mural needs. There is no one better, in my and my clients opinion. My only regret is that the piece is not open for public view. Thank You!!!!

Aaron created bespoke artwork for us that celebrate our heritage in macadamias, that was created into a mural, merchandise, and expanded also into community events in Hilo as well as Honolulu to celebrate our partnership. Mauna Loa is the heritage macadamia brand from Hawai'i, and it was an honor for us to work with Aaron to give back to the community that we are both a part of. Aaron is from Hilo, and worked with the local schools that he went to- Kamehameha Schools in creating the mural. We threw a Mauna Loa x Aaron Kai community event that was extremely well received, and our staff have commented on how the mural has lifted morale at the plant, as it is such a beautiful piece that everyone sees on their way to work. Aaron is a pleasure to work with, professional, and has become a friend personally since the completion of our project. We hope to work closely with him again in the future.
