ABOUT

BARBARA AYLESWORTH

Born and raised in glorious Vancouver, I began my appreciation and love of interior home decoration and design at a very young age. After many years working in the retail/wholesale fashion industry, decorating, painting and repainting my home, I decided it was time to truly follow my dreams.

In 1997 I launched 'A Stroke of Genius' Decorative Arts Company. Since then I have built up an extensive portfolio that showcases my skills as a mural artist, faux finisher and decorative painter. My portfolio includes Venetian Plaster, Gilding and Wood Grain Finishes. Since 2002 I have had my paint finishes displayed in the PNE Prize Homes.

During my visits to clients' homes, I have often been asked to take on more than just paint finishes. So, I began studies in Interior Design at BCIT. As my studies continued I expanded my business to include a full array of interior home finishing services from colour consultation to whole home remodeling.

I work with a team of highly skilled trades people who take pride in delivering a quality product in a timely and efficient manner. From baseboard installation and cabinet re-facing to Kitchen/Bathroom remodeling and project management. No job is too small.

In 2009 I accepted the challenge of Interior Design Coordinator for the PNE Prize Home.

I am proud to have images of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 PNE Prize Homes as part of my portfolio.
