MEET OUR MASTER PAINTER . . .
KARL SAXON
Karl is a fully qualified interior and exterior painter and wall finish specialist with over 30 years experience in the industry including owning and operating his own business and for a time he was also a lecturer in the painting department at Thornlie TAFE teaching apprentices. He has had his painting work shown in many lifestyle magazines over the years including Homes & Living, Building & Design Yearbook and Vogue Living.

Karl is the driving force behind the success of the projects Creative Colours undertakes. He prides himself on his attention to detail, mastery of the brush and artistic sense of colour for customers that deserve the highest quality craftsmanship. Using skill, imagination and his ‘knack to think outside the square’, he can create new and individual wall finishes with relative ease.

Joining the MASTER PAINTERS & DECORATORS AUSTRALIA in 2006 he entered in their ‘Awards for Excellence’ that year in just one category, ‘DECORATIVE FINISHES & PAINTED EFFECTS’ which he won.

This inspired him to enter in consecutive years resulting in many awards acknowledging the high skill and attention to detail achieved by Karl and Creative Colours.

Karl has won the MASTER PAINTERS & DECORATORS AUSTRALIA ‘Master Painter of the Year’ twice to date which is a very rare and outstanding achievement.
