Lane's End Decorative Arts

Lane's End Decorative Arts, is me, PatMcWhorter. When I moved to my current home I finally picked a name for my business. I live on Ferris Lane, which is a Dead End Street, hence, Lane's End! This site features my work as a Muralist and a Decorative Painter. Some of my Artwork is done in my studio, for example, paintings and murals on canvas, or painted furniture. I would say that most is done on-site, either in your home or Business.

2008 Mansion in May








Once again I was chosen to participate in the Women's Association of Morristown Memorial Hospital's Designer Showhouse. It is a great honor, that I am proud to be a part of. The Mansion is called Froh Heim in Far Hills NJ. My space is a small hallway with a closet that I transformed into a trompe l'oeil bay window. The mural is of the surrounding landscape on the Far Hills Race Meeting Day in October every year.


I recruited another Artisan, Kirsten Briggs-Arcell to apply a Mantovano Plaster finish to the Hall walls and a faux woodgrain to the trim.


I was also lucky enough to borrow an equestrian bronze sculpture by James Leslie, from The J.M. Stringer Gallery in Bernardsville.
