In 1995, I began my education in Scenic Painting at Yale University School of Drama. I worked with the Resident Artist and Designers to create sets for stage productions.
It was not unusual to be up on ladders with a gallon of paint in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Sometimes scaffolding was used. Ladders were my preferred choice. Something about the wooden rungs made me feel more secure.
Fast forward to 2023, I wanted a change of color in my main living spaces.
I painted the rooms a few years ago, but this time, the ceilings seemed higher. At the peak, it is eighteen feet up, no easy task. I managed the first 15 feet, but the last 3 feet I found daunting. I still had another 18-foot-high wall to do.
After finishing two 15-foot walls I posted a photo on Facebook. When my son saw it he called and urged me to hire a painter. He had a bad fall and did not want to see me take a tumble too.
I agreed to and sought recommendations. Luckily, I found Karl Ogibowski of AMG Painting LLC.
All it took was a quick call and voila, I hired a professional painter!
Within a couple of hours, all the walls were perfectly covered and as a bonus, Karl cleaned our ceiling fan!
His work is meticulous, and I can say, my paintbrushes are now retired.
