Karen Van Dehy
- Boss
Karen has 8 years of professional painting experience,
all of it working for herself with Karen’s Company.
She has been painting furniture, fences and houses
for herself and other people since she was thirteen
years old. She has a degree in physiology and genetics,
but paints houses because she enjoys it. She has
taken 2 classes in faux finishing from the Faux
Finish Institute and consistently practices faux/decorative
finishes and the effects of different colors in
her own home.
Colby Graham
- Crew supervisor - "Crew clown"
Colby has 2 1/2 years of painting experience and
has been working with Karen’s Company for 2 years.
He does most of the aspects of painting projects
including prep work, startup, painting, staining,
and cleanup. Colby stands 6'6" tall, so he
doesn't need a ladder for most ceilings--we give
him all the little closets and nooks to paint.
