Cait Whitson, the founder of Whitson’s has been involved in the decorative arts since 1985 and started her first decorative painting business in 1986. Working in an area of the painting and decorating world that involves pushing paints to their limits and where a really good understanding of paint chemistry is an absolute necessity, Cait developed broad expertise in traditional and modern paint finishes. Not one to keep things to herself she started teaching and has continued to share her knowledge extensively both here in the UK and in the USA.
