After years of working in banks and at a local Mutual
Fund company, Kathi Dugan, a naturally talented and largely self taught artist,
decided it was time to put her gifting to work. Thus, in the year 2002, she created
her own business, Wonders On Walls, and she began to market her abilities in the South Shore and greater Boston area. Since that time, she has had the opportunity of decorating many homes and businesses with beautiful murals
and extraordinary faux finishes.
|
To expand her knowledge, Kathi has participated
in several, very intense workshops, under the direction of some of the best in the business.
These include:
· Designer Wall Finishes; The Faux Finish Institute; Aurora, Colorado; Instructor: Kelly
S. King
· Marble and Semi Precious Stone; The Faux Finish
Institute; Seattle, Washington: Instructor: Patrisia Labeye
· Fine Furniture and Accessories; The Faux Finish
Institute; Denver, Colorado; Instructor: Kelly S. King

Her artwork has been featured in past “Under The Tents”, Plymouth Guild for the Art’s
Annual Juried Art Show.. Two pieces, “A Pilgrim Maid: Defining
A Nation” and “The Spell Casters”
were chosen for display in this current year, 2007.

Kathi
has used her talent to aid several non profit organizations and fundraisers, such as Father Bill’s, Cardinal Cushing,
local church programs and individual, personal fund raisers. She has successfully
tried her hand at face painting, for school and church events.
