THE STUDIO

Patrice Vilaplana is from France and presently lives in Paris. His friendship and collaboration with Dina started at Decoration School in Paris in 1993.  Dina and Patrice have been happily and successfully completing together projects around the world from Bermuda, to Switzerland, Antigua and London.

 ‘”Patrice is a great colleague and work partner: his expertise and technical knowledge have been invaluable for each project. We complement each other beautifully!” 

These are some of the people that in fourteen years have helped me to complete and make of each project a success. Each one of them has also become a very special friend.

Denise Martin was born in England and has been living in Antigua for the past 15 years. She has been working full time with Dina since 2001. She combines incredibly well being a mother of three with a full time job in Trompe-l’oeil. She has already been traveling as well, on several projects overseas from Jamaica to Switzerland.

 “Denise has brought great vitality and energy to the team: she never seems to have a down moment or loose her faith in the project” 

Nancy Harte was born in Texas and presently lives in Dallas. Dina and    Nancy and I met at Decoration School in Paris in 1993 and have been working together ever since.

Whenever a large project comes up, Nancy is always ready to pack up her heavy suitcases and join us.

 “ She is absolutely wonderful and a bundle of positive energy”

 Rita Raeburn was born and lives in Antigua. She is also mother of three and manages to fit into her busy schedule many hours of computer graphic work for our projects. She is a real expert in Corel draw and Photoshop.

 “I like her spirit and determination in solving any problems: she really relishes challenges”.

These are some of the people that over the years have helped me to complete and make of each Trompe L’oiel project a success. Each one of them has also become a very special friend
