About
Ana Kleo is a visual artist and master craftsperson based in Jacksonville, Florida. For twelve years she has worked directly in clients' homes, bringing a European tradition of decorative art to American interiors.
The story
Ana trained in decorative arts in Eastern Europe, where the traditions of fresco, plaster, and sculptural ornament are still taught as living disciplines — not museum pieces. She moved to Jacksonville in 2013 and quickly found that American clients, once they understood what handcraft could do for a space, wanted nothing else.
"A machine can reproduce a pattern. A hand responds to the specific wall, the specific light, the specific room. That responsiveness is where the character lives. It's why no two of my projects look the same — even when the brief is similar."
— Ana Kleo
The studio
How we work
We tell you exactly what a project will cost, how long it will take, and what the result will look like — before we start. No surprises.
Ana works every project herself. There are no subcontractors. When you hire Ana Kleo, you get Ana.
We use materials built to last. A plaster wall applied correctly will outlast the building. We work like it matters, because it does.
As seen in
"She spent three weeks on our dining room. Every morning I'd come in to see what had changed. By the end it felt like the house had grown the wall itself."Rebecca T. — Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
