Murals

Full Bloom

This large-scale commissioned work centers on the imagery of the doula agency and perinatal center, The Lemon Grove, where it stands tall in the main gathering space at the clinic welcoming all who enter.  Incorporating related themes and tying in multiple symbolic elements to highlight the various stages and journeys towards parenthood, this mural combines large and small images that create a warm and welcoming space.

The Reef

This nursing office at Manchester Memorial Elementary School was completely transformed by this mural inspired by the beloved school fish tank and the nurse’s scuba diving hobby! I created coloring pages and a search and find to accompany this mural for students to engage in. Typically when a child is hurt or sick and requries a doctor visit, their parent or caregiver is with them, but if this occurs at school, they have to wait to be picked up while feeling sick, scared or in pain. Creating a calm, welcoming and engaging environment is so critical in healing spaces and one of my areas of focus.

Sanctuary

This space incorporated a full overhaul- painting the mural as well as the ceiling and remaining walls a complimentary color to create a coheasive and calming atmosphere. As a home office and sleep space it was essential that this room serve as a peaceful and seemless backdrop for rest and recovery.

Alphabet Garden

This custom feature bathroom wall creates an airy, fresh and engaging scene for little ones as this is located in an indoor play cafe.

Dream Cloud

This dreamscape provides the backdrop to an infant play space in a play cafe. It is both calming to not overwhelm the youngest of guests yet engaging for little eyes and minds.

Unbreakable

This mural serves both a practical and visul purpose in this play space. With active kiddos on the move, placing anything on the mantle or walls that can easily be knocked off just isn’t an option. These painted vases with designs inspired by family pieces from travel and passed down through the family have meaningful and nostalgic notes as well as provide a playful and interactive scene. The kids can tape paper flower boquets to the wall in the vases and change them out with the seasons. No broken pottery here!

Bunny Dreams

This cozy mural brings so much character to this sweet nursury which will have three bassinets in it for tired infants at this special play cafe. It adds so much interest and the deep tones create a peaceful place to sleep.

Whale

In this seaside nursery, I painted a whale above the crib to go along with the seaside motif and calming energy of the cool blues of the ocean. As an added apeal for nurseries in particular, murals make for an excelent choice above cribs and changing tables where little hands and feet are often reaching and can easily knock framed works down. Practical and engaging!

Seaside

This calming yet playful scene is the perfect backdrop for the endless snuggles, tummy time, reading, and play that awaits in this charming nursery. The bold colors set against the serene backdrop are designed for infant sight development as this baby discovers shape, form and color long before the days of interactive and imaginary play this will help facilitate.

Best Friends

This custom nursery mural incorporated the natural cherry blossoming tree branch and butterflies the client requested and also a portrait of their daughter and family dog sitting in the corner.  The piece was designed to surround the placement of the child's crib in this darling nursery.

Mountains

As this room transitioned from a nursery into a “big kid” bedroom, I painted a scene that would work in either setting. In an effort to incorporate this enclosed pediatric medical bed, The Courtney Bed, into the transition for the room design, I painted misty mountains so that the bed was absorbed in the fantasy space much like an explorer’s tent. Ensuring that despite the need for medical equipment, nights spent at home would feel cozy and personalized and not like a hospital. A versitle scene that suits both versions of this room
