With my refinishing work I might be asked to refinish a piece of furniture, like a battered old loved table so that it fits in with a new interior. It is physical, creative work and very satisfying. We also have to discuss and advise the customer on what will give them the result they want. We start by measuring and cutting wood for the frame, then cut the matt and set up the backing boards. What is involved? We customise our frames and that requires a lot of trial and error as we work out how to meet our customer's requirements and take it beyond their expectations. I do a lot of special wall finishes, feature walls and murals in kids' bedrooms. My other work involves interior paint finishes for furniture, murals and interiors, often organised through interior designers. I specialise in applying special finishes, including gilding, to frames and create my own mirrors. I work part time at El Framo making frames. Qualifications: Bachelor of Visual Arts (Photography) from Manukau Institute of Technology What do you do? My work is varied which is why I describe myself as an applied artist. Pay: $20 an hour for framing and $75 an hour for paint finish contracts. Name: Emily Van Oosterom Job title: Applied artist/picture framer Employer: El Framo, Auckland Hours: 20 hours a fortnight at El Framo, plus about 60 hours a week on interior paint finish projects. Emily Van Oosterom enjoys a varied work schedule.
