At Novacolor Near Me, we take pride in highlighting the exceptional work of talented artisans who bring innovative surface designs to life. Today, we’re honored to showcase a remarkable project by Tracy Browner of Venezia Design & Finish—an artist with over two decades of experience transforming interiors with Venetian plaster, metallic leafing, and custom fine art finishes.

Known for her intuitive ability to translate a client’s vision into a layered, tactile experience, Tracy approaches every project as a collaboration between form, function, and feeling – and her featured project is no exception.

The Project: Asian-Inspired Botanical Fusion in Sedona

This owner’s suite bathroom in Sedona, Arizona, spans three interconnected spaces, an opportunity to create a cohesive visual story across multiple rooms. The client requested a finish that would complement the marble shower and countertops. The goal was clear: simple, yet undeniably engaging.

Tracy began with thoughtful research, drawing inspiration from the homeowner’s love of travel and meditation. The resulting design blends Eastern botanical elements with a grounded, Southwest sensibility.

To bring the vision to life, Tracy used a harmonious mix of Novacolor products:

  • CalceCruda added layered, textural movement, especially surrounding the exposed copper leaf, offering rich contrast and earthy elegance.
  • Marmorino KS, tinted a shade lighter than the Calce Cruda, created smooth, soft areas where the eye could rest, balancing the room’s visual energy.
  • Fase Silossanica, applied and gently wiped back, highlighted the dimensionality of the textures, lending a subtle glow to the surface.

In a particularly artistic flourish, Tracy employed what she affectionately calls her “magical texture wands”—custom tools made by a metal artist—to enhance the wall surfaces with sculptural gesture. Additional botanical motifs were brought to life through the use of texture rollers and stencils, lending the space a sense of calm vitality.

The result is an expressive atmosphere – a bathroom that feels wholly unique.

We’re so grateful to Tracy Browner of Venezia Design & Finish for sharing this exquisite project with us. Her commitment to artistic integrity and her mastery of Novacolor’s materials are evident in every detail of this serene and striking space.

Stay tuned for more inspiring artisan features – where creativity and craftsmanship meet.
