Returning to the source of her inspiration, Veronica chose to explore her interest in architectural decorative arts. A modern day alchemist, she has developed a versatile repertoire of both contemporary and historic decorative painting techniques.
A series of contemporary fresco fragments she created has captured the attention of the media on several occasions and subsequently the studio and her artwork have been featured on:
Rogers Community Cable Global Televsion News with Dave Gerry The Discovery Channel, “Travellers” Shaw Cable, “City Nights” As a result of this media coverage some of the fresco artwork is now available as art prints through Art In Motion, an international art publishing company.
