About Dircene

The Painter

Since she was little, Dircene, who her friends call Dee, had a passion for painting. She would find old objects around the house and transform them with a palette and a brush into timeless treasures, some of which she still hangs onto today.

Dee has a talent with transforming spaces and translating your personality and style into art you can be proud of. Whether it's custom paintings, ceiling murals, or entire wall textures, Dee will work tirelessly to ensure the finished product is something you will love and cherish for years to come.

The Interior Designer

As Dee established her reputation as a painter, she began receiving invitations to decorate and remodel her friends' homes. Soon enough, these projects became her second passion and she decided to pursue interior design as a career.

Dee earned her degree in Interior Design at the Houston Community, and she is now an adjunct faculty member there as well. Now, Dee is an established designer with a portfolio of contemporary and classic designs to fit your style. She handles everything from picking out material to managing installation and final touches.
