SHARE THE ROAD Oops, I forgot to update my webpage right after I finished this mural, one of my favorites, here in Prescott! I just realized it so I’m doing it now. This mural is on the High Gear Bicycle Shop on Sheldon here where I live in Prescott. It is based on the cartoon [...]

GASSERS’ GARAGE This mural I just finished (2011) is on the side of a barn here in Prescott. It was inspired by this giant sign the client had gotten from her recently deceased brothers’ estate. His last name was Gasser, and he had it made to hang in this huge garage he had for all [...]

WASHINGTON SCHOOL RIPARIAN MURAL This MURAL was a trip to do. Last year it was supposed to be done but was abruptly canceled. The Highland Center was in the process of obtaining grants to have a large riparian themed mural painted on the side of the school by the area where the Highland Center conducted [...]

ANDERSON’S DIORAMA So for a few years now,  I’ve been doing landscape murals for Wildlife Images in Scottsdale that were painted in after some company or guy or whoever fabricated these really cool fiberglass rocks. They look super real, so strong you can dance on them yet light enough to pick up a huge boulder [...]

CHALK MURALS IN PRESCOTT! This is at the second annual “Chalk It Up”!  I didn’t know about the one last year because we had just moved here, but when I heard about this one, I called my ever-so talented and beautiful friend Jen and invited her over for the weekend for it. I’d been trying [...]

So the marks are put around the words “tile work” because this is 100% paint.  Not real tile.  Several years ago I worked in a set dept. that did all kinds of sets for plays, movies, events and industries.  The joke when i worked there was the bossman would hand us a piece of wood [...]

AVEDA MURAL This mural is a relatively small mural, done in the massage/therapy room of the Prescott AZ Aveda salon.  I wasn’t going to do a “painting progression” on it, but I learned some cool stuff, so here goes: I had 3 problems dealing with the space and colors requested and subject matter.  This is [...]

Recently finished:  Underwater Mural for Wildlife Images          This mural presented some learning opportunities and challenges. The mural was to be installed about 6′ up in a giant hole in the wall of a very large trophy room.  The bottom half of the mural is an underwater scene, and the top part [...]

Y This is one part of a wall of 3 for a small mural I did for a women’s/children’s homeless shelter clinic for Phoenix Children’s Hospital.  I love those guys because they saved the life not once but twice of my husband’s sweet son Scott.  Our family will always be grateful to them for what [...]

l This first mural was one I did on my own house.  My daughter and I were out digging up the latest crop of burned plants we had attempted to plant in hellish Phoenix.  Sweet Katie said  in her cute little voice, “you know Mommy, we can’t grow them, but we CAN paint them!”…an idea [...]
