Quote

This was a quote painted on the wall of the Vitality Health Center here in Idaho Falls. It is a great quote and something we all can take into our lives. 

Preschool

This is a collection of some of the murals I have done for a couple Pre-schools. This one was for a pre-school in Shelley. 
And these were done for my daughter's pre-school teacher this last year. They are the backdrops for her graduations. One side was an underwater theme and the other side was a jungle theme. 







Jungle

This was a jungle that covered the entire room- I am noticing I don't have pictures of all the walls in my computer- so I will have to update this with more and better pictures. It was inspired by The Jungle Book movie by Disney. 


Aspen Ridge Eye Care


 This mural was commissioned for my Optometrist over at Aspen Ridge Eye Care's child's waiting room. It wasn't a very big room but it was very tall as you can see. The animals are lifelike but not scary and it is way more fun to go into the room than look at it in pictures :).










Secret Garden

This mural is special because it is in my daughter's room. We moved into a house and I was given all sorts of walls to paint! I wanted to start in hers because she was my oldest and I had too many ideas of fun things to do. She wanted a castle and we wanted one that would grow with her and then I wanted to put her in her own castle garden. 


She painted these two groups of flowers herself- she is becoming quite a little artist- I am proud to say! 
 

Plane


The idea this mom had was so cute- she wanted it to look like the plane was landing in her boys bedroom. So she took the rug and I think she was going to put yellow tape or something on it to make it look like the runway continued into the room. Such a great idea. 

Nursery

This was a nursery for twins, a boy and a girl. The mom liked the Christopher Robin sort of style. 



Book themed

Harry Potter-
This was a fun room to do because I really enjoy the books and making it come to life was pretty neat.

Train

This was such a fun room because I got to paint the entire thing -floor to ceiling- and it was for a little boy that loved trains. My favorite part painting this room was when I was painting the black circle on the front of the train he came in looked at it and ran to his mom crying, "Mom, the train can't see!" 






Playhouse

You know those cute little under the stairs playhouses? This was the inside of one that you got to crawl into. They wanted it to look like a house so there is a kitchen and a living room. The 6 year old wrote Welcome for me and I painted it in her Handwriting. They lived in Rexburg- hence the temple :)

My Favorite Mural

This my favorite mural I have ever done. First because it was in my Sister's room and I painted it while I was home from college and staying in that room with her. And second because I was painting it while my husband  (boyfriend at the time) was on his internship in Arizona and I didn't have much to do with him gone :) so I painted this! It has great memories attached to it! My mom had not approved the project- in fact when I asked she told me that she really didn't want anything on the walls because then she wouldn't be able to paint over it. One day while she was out and I was bored :) I started- and by the time she got home it was cute enough that she was right- she couldn't paint over it! 
 Try to spot the vent and the plug on the wall in the picture :)
