Geri Menaged, of Couture Faux Arts, is an important and acclaimed artist and designer with an incredible eye for beauty and grace. She can often be found enhancing and embellishing homes near and far. With over 20 years of experience doing decorative/Venetian plaster jobs, it’s safe to say she’s an expert in wall finishes and murals. She has built up a decorative arts and design business with hopes of making other peoples’ dwelling places look and feel more beautiful. Her extensive repertoire includes hundreds of unique finishes both subtle and dazzling. She uses materials from gold leaf to lacquer, to Venetian plaster, which is a wall and ceiling finish consisting of plaster mixed with marble dust. Geri Menaged transforms simple walls to shimmer with depth and elegance in such a way that is truly outstanding. Her unique approach to art is a pleasure to view and this is due to the fact that her works are usually constructed by an impressive abundance of layers and depth in anything she creates. It’s almost poetic to see just how much thought and precision go into just one of her works.
In 1993, Geri Menaged began her training in faux finishes at Isabel O’Neil Studio Workshop in New York City. Since then, she has cultivated a unique style by applying age-old techniques with a modern flair. Her passion for design has led her to start up her own exquisite business, Couture Faux Arts. Geri works with clients and decorators in the New York metropolitan area to bring their visions to life. With her talent, drive and a wide range of skills, Geri can customize any furniture or interior. She can even incorporate it with technology if someone wanted a more modern feel to their home, where this would entail things like video wall setups with specialized digital screens for video wall hardware so that they can display art, pictures, videos, and pretty much anything as a projection on the walls of their home.
Couture Faux Arts specializes in hand painted furniture and wall design faux finishes in both luxury residential and commercial sectors. Geri Menaged’s designs are regarded as some of the area’s most sought after lifestyle and home accent collections in NY/NJ. Her work offers high-quality faux finish painting for interior design and was trained at the prestigious Isabel O’Neil Studio Workshop in New York City. Geri started her passion at the O’Neil studio fifteen years ago where she learned the fundamentals of how to duplicate Renaissance finishes using 20th-century materials and other techniques used to simulate exotic and luxurious materials as marble, tortoise shell, lapis lazuli, malachite and tigerite. Her designs are a balance of classic techniques with her individual, modern and creative expression. Combining modern ceiling lights, mirrors and flooring with unique artwork and bespoke furniture add to her style, creating a sense of classic refinement.
Geri Menaged’s revolutionary work is a modern and fresh take on an age-old practice, making her a truly a contemporary artist, in every sense of the word. She has a full mind of ideas and self-expressions and is constantly striving for the pursuit of perfection. She is as much a skilled artistic professional as a truly unforgettable and capable human being. She is a true artist of not only painting but of interior design, architecture, innovation and lifestyle. As time goes on, Geri Menaged will continue to delve deeper into the multifaceted world of art by utilizing a wide range of mediums and taking an intimate approach to art direction and design. I for one am looking forward to seeing what she accomplishes next!
