Byron Heslop
Byron Heslop has always been interested in colour and design, and has the experience to show for it. In 2004 he received his Certificate in Painting and Design from BCIT, then returned to school to complete an Interior Design Certificate in 2009. Under the guidance of Kathy van Gogh, Byron has gained superior knowledge of Studio van Gogh’s various plasters and paints. He is constantly inspired by what is being created in the studio and considers Oikos’ Raffaello polished plaster, which contains real marble dust, his favourite new product. As a Benjamin Moore Colour Consultant, Byron loves working with bright, energetic colours, but also appreciates the subtlety of toned down schemes. Let Byron put his expert skills and knowledge to work for you. As our Studio Manager, Byron keeps all things organized, is in charge of product inventory, staff and customer knowledge, and is our classroom assistant.
We are also the ONLY retailer to carry a complete line of high end Decorative Products such as Oikos Lime Plasters and the Golden Proceed Professional Toolkit. We are the only GO TO place in all of Western Canada, and in some cases, in all of the entire country to have expert advice and training available to our customers.
