Welcome

May 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, the nation's premier design showcase of new decorative trends. I'm pleased to announce I've been asked to be one of the designers this year. The first room I designed for a Kips Bay Show House was in 1985. The exposure I received and the friends in the design community I made that year helped establish me as one of America's south-after muralists. If you're in New York City, please come visit the Kips Bay Show House to see what the newest trends are and at the same time support the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Clubs of New York.

Open to the public: May 15 - June 14, 2012.
THE ALDYN - 60 Riverside Boulevard - New York City
