Mary Shafer

Permanent Paintings on Fabric


A Mary Shafer chair  or settee will make your home memorable with a stunning adaptation of a grand master.  Contact Mary Martin at 843-723-0303 to discuss the fabric paint and its astonishing durability as well as the process of adding a piece to your decor.  Spectacular!

Mary Shafer has created a fantastic product with her fabric painting.  Mary Martin features the Master's paintings although any scene can be ordered.  She can take any settee, chair, or swath of fabric and paint almost any scene upon it.  the paintings are permanent and can resist multiple bleachings (she has tested almost any type of cleaning products).  If desired, she can place new springs in cushions, upholster, paint something of your choice, even your favorite photo or scene onto your furniture.

A more cost effective way for interior designers from outside the Tri-state area to work is to send the desired fabric (with consultation with Mary Shafer as very nappy fabric may not be desirable) to Mary.  The fabric is painted and returned to the designer who then upholsters the furniture. 

Visit the Mary Martin Gallery to see actual samples of the work, review the permanence of the paint upon fabric samples, and to place an order.  If ordering long distance, send photos of the chair, a sample of the fabric, a photo of the desired painting plus measurements of the surfaces to be painted for a quote.  Any fabric surface can be painted including arms and backs of chairs.
