Artist and Tile Designer Dick L. Sizemore and his wife Connie are owners of Designers Choice Tile

Mission Statement

Create tile murals, tile wraparounds, and single tile designs at Designers Choice Tile that are easy on the eye and don’t overpower the architecture. Designs that create a platform for details, unique subjects, textures, and subtle touches of color that will enhance your theme, Western, Wildlife, Flyfishing, and Native American.

I was asked one day if I could create tile murals and tile wraparounds with images of Western, Wildlife, Native American, and Fly Fishing subjects for home, cabin retreats, business improvement projects. I began to look around and found that reproductions of paintings were abundant, but full-color paintings seem to dominate too much and weren’t easy to work with if you wanted to change the area up a little. So, as a veteran graphic designer, I went to work and created murals and wraparounds with a touch of realism by using silhouettes images and then set up a monochromatic color scheme. Decorating with a single color/undertone might seem drab, but in fact, the result can be stunning. The Murals and Wraparounds make a statement but didn’t overpower the architecture. They create a stage for details, organic and unique elements, textures, and subtle touches of color that will be the celebrity of the show. Monochromatic spaces, which are those decorated with shades of one main color, are a popular trend in interior design, with good reason. Layering shades of color with a common hue not only creates a stunning look.
Thus Designers Choice Tile was created.

Connie manages the office and Dick is the creator. We have been a team for more than fifty years. We have had the opportunity to work on many different design projects. Advertising Design, Product Design, Publishing, Event Planning, and Promotions, etc.

About the Artist

Rich, powerful, soft, tender, and heart stimulating describe the artwork of the artist

Dick L. Sizemore.

Sizemore’s artwork reflects his love of the Great Outdoors, Frontier America, and the Noble and Magnificent Wildlife of our mighty land.

Authenticity is the magnet that draws people to Sizemore’s paintings and sculptures. His watercolor scenes reflect a reality that rings true. Nationally acclaimed as an artist of talent and distinction. Sizemore has his artwork displayed in businesses and homes across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Sizemore’s interest in painting and early frontier life began when he was just a young boy growing up in the Rock Mountains. He remembers sitting on a board stretched across the barber chair arms and staring with fascination at scenes of Indian life and artifacts that hung on the barbershop wall. His first taste of artistic success came at the age of six years when his drawing of a horse was published in a magazine. As an adult, Sizemore began to seriously pursue a career as an artist, completing a four-year course at Utah State University and going from there to a successful stint in Seattle, Washington as a commercial artist. But fascination for the frontier life still had Sizemore in its grip and he became dedicated to putting the reality of that life into his artwork. Electing to “live his art” Sizemore and his family left Seattle and made their home in three 18-foot canvas tipis on Day Creek in Skagit County Washington, for eight years. Keeping warm with wood heat and hauling water from a spring, they learned first hand the subtle shades of an earlier way of life. “I was looking for a place to live that would be complementary to my work,” explained Sizemore. “I wanted to be part of my work. I lived my research. It was my laboratory. It was pure survival, but I loved every minute of it. ”Sizemore’s favorite medium is transparent watercolor. “I am fascinated with the challenge it gives to me,” he said. “It’s exciting to watch the action of the paint upon the paper, let the medium carry out its own natural story and then adding in the detail in the same way in smaller areas.”
