Marti Carroll, owner/lead artisan of Fauxscapes, Inc., is heading into her 15^th year as a professional decorative painter.  She has trained under some of the masters in the field, including Martin Hirsch, Janie Ellis, Melanie Royals, Gary Lord, Mike McNeal, Leonard Pardon, Barry Affleck and Joe Greco.  Just recently she was certified in the Faux Effects RsSeries product line.  She is diligent in remaining at the top in her field and believes that continuing education keeps her at the cutting edge. 

The majority of Marti’s commissions have been in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette areas; but she has also worked on projects throughout the state of Louisiana and has commissioned projects as far as Ochos Rios, Jamaica.  She is highly sought by interior designers, architects and builders, as well as individual homeowners.  She commissions projects both commercially and residentially.

Although she keeps an extensive portfolio for viewing, most of her finishes are custom designed for the individual client.  Marti does not believe that decorative painting is only for walls; therefore, she incorporates beauty and luxury into ceilings, cabinetry, furniture, medallions and accessories.  Her finishes include Old World, Tuscany, French, Classic, Ethnic, and Contemporary…there are no limits as to what can be designed for the individual client.

Her work has been published in The Advocate for a project she did with the American Cancer Society called The Hospice House.  And again she was published in The City Social magazine for work done in the Sanderson’s residence in Covington, Louisiana.  She is a member of Stencil Artisans League, Inc. and a founding member of Sisters Hands Decorative Artists Consortium.  She is a member of the Capital Region Builders Association and the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.  She is also a member of The Healing Place church.
