We highlight a selection of our wines daily for you to try, pairing them with a delicious cheese or salmon board to enjoy the full L’uva Bella multi-sensory experience. Each Thursday you can join us for a fun and informative evening of wine tasting to sample delicious wines presented by one of our wine reps or even directly from a wine maker.

We specialize in custom gift baskets filled with all the items a wine lover needs. You can also choose from our extensive selection of unique wine accessories to find that perfect give for the person who has everything.

L’uva Bella presents wine as an easy going pleasure where we emphasize celebration, not intimidation. We seek to empower the wine consumer, and show we’re not just another wine shop, but a sensory experience.

I started my business through the encouragement of many friends and family who had all asked me for murals in their kid’s rooms after I did my son’s room eight years ago. The requests kept piling up and when I had finally had enough at my job as a production artist I decided to make a go of being a small business owner. I knew for sure that working in front of a computer in a little gray cube was definitely not for me.

I have a degree in graphic design which is and has been invaluable to me as an artist. There isn’t a mural design that I haven’t used my knowledge as a graphic artist in some way. When I decided to get serious about having my own business I flew to a couple different specialty schools and learned new techniques and how to use professional products to achieve different finishes. I particularly loved the class on painting trompe l’oeil murals. I am committed to continuing my education in the decorative arts and learning new and innovative products and finishes. The fabulous thing about a faux finish is the individuality that each client has brings new options to every sample board I do.

I love what I do and the clients that I work with. Each job is as unique as the person requesting it and I absolutely enjoy the challenges of each and every design or finish.

The services I offer are:

Color consultation

Murals/Trompe L’oeil

Decorative Elements

Faux Finishes

Furniture Painting

My slogan says everything for my business, I truly want my clients to “Love the walls you live in”

Photographing newborns, children and families is a unique niche which requires an eye for the most simple, yet beautiful photo. Photography is a passion which I believe is a gift that I can give to all of my clients. Located in Reno, Nv, I love using the outdoors to photograph children and their families. Candid shots are my favorite; what better way to photograph a child than in the element of nature.

Being a mother of twins, I understand the need for capturing those special moments. Having professional portraits done at least once a year will create heirlooms that can be passed on for decades. All of my portraits are professionally edited and processed at a professional photo lab on the highest quality photo paper. I offer unique items such as Canvas Gallery Wraps, Canvas Giclee Prints and as well as an abundance of custom framing options. All clients receive a pre-session consultation where we will discuss the expectations of your “perfect” portrait. This allows me to understand your exact style, your likes and dislikes and provide you with a portrait you’ve always dreamed of.

Many people spend thousands of dollars on artwork for their home picturing people they’ve never met or places they’ve never seen. When you have professional portraits it allows you to decorate your home with the art of your family.

Giving back is very important to me. As well as being involved with many local area charities, I also provide gift certificates for my portrait services to charity events. If you are part of a charity and would like to discuss receiving a $200 gift certificate , please do not hesitate to contact me.
