With an extensive background as a general contractor and kitchen and bath designer, Jon Pettus is an expert in custom cabinetry, ornate moldings, columns and panel walled libraries. His furniture, architectural woodwork and designs are as beautiful as they are solid and well built. He provides the structural basis for Alene’s textured surface artwork.

Alene Pettus is an artist educated at the Ringling School of Art and Design. She is a master in Venetian plaster, faux finishes, stenciling, gilding and applied ornament. She has an intuitive artistic sense with a reliable ability to interpret a client’s or interior designer's direction. “Whether we are working with the interior designer, the architect or the homeowner on their behalf, coordinating the entire environment to the client's satisfaction comes though teamwork,” says Alene.

The team at APR is fueled by the love of the work, or rather, the art of the work. Jon and Alene devote travel time in Europe to researching period styles, giving them the ability to beautifully reproduce authentic styles and study old world technique. This team prides themselves in providing honest and consistent workmanship – both in the art of the work and the business of the work. Their company, located in Sarasota, Florida has enjoyed local client loyalty for more than a decade as well as a client base along the east coast of the United States and abroad.
