Olivier Garnier began his career training in the early eighties at the Van der Kellen Institute for Painting in Brussels and at Frederic Mistral in Montpellier, France.

He honed his decorative plastering skills under an apprenticeship with Vincent Cerezo, working through some of the Mediterranean 's most beautiful residences.

He moved to the United States in 1989 after completing his military obligations in France.

Garnier began knocking on designers doors with Italian plaster samples way before there was any practice of using these finishes in the United States.

Under the direction of top designers, Olivier's work began to appear in prestigious properties and residences throughout the country.

In the late 90's he also invented his own lime-based plasters and lime washes under the name of Stucco d'Olivetti which later was named Olivetti Mineral Finishes, LLC.

Although Olivier's client list is long and impressive, he remains dedicated to perfecting each job personally. He truly enjoys his trade and showing up to work.

Even though he is based in the Bay Area, Olivier works throughout the US and abroad.
