Tobi Indyke is owner and head artist at Periwinkle Skies, LLC. Tobi has transformed residential and commercial spaces with her artistry. She offers several solutions for each project formulated with sensitivity to the needs of the client and the planet. Her repertoire includes a host of artistic solutions: Venetian plaster, glazing, faux bois, inlay, gold leaf, fresco, encaustic, painted furniture, stencils, and murals.

A return to ancient techniques using natural materials is particularly important to Tobi. Her desire to use authentic mediums was prompted by industry-wide concerns regarding a variety of health problems caused by long-term exposure to commercially made petro-chemical paints and solvents. This has been her inspiration for working with sustainable plasters, waxes, paints and colorants to create each Venetian plaster, faux finish, and decorative painting.

The health and well being of our clients and the environment are carefully planned for when we choose the products to be used on each project. In every scenario possible we use durable, natural materials. Clay and lime plasters, earth and mineral pigments, casein, egg temperas and beeswax are among the products used.

Periwinkle Skies donates a portion of its proceeds to Habitat for Humanity, Compassion, Smile Train, Oxfam, and Doctors without Borders.
