Tree Goddess Commissioned Interior Mural

I can feel myself evolving as a Muralist with each new project and thus I certainly had a blast creating my most recent mural:

The above was commissioned by a local Portland Oregon patron of the arts who gave me complete creative control of a section of the bedroom in his new home.

It all started with a concept sketch:

Once the concept sketch was approved by the patron I began work on the wall:

I started by using a paint marker to rough out the concept sketch directly on the wall.

And then I started mapping out the color!


And then cleaning it all up with some fine details

All done! 

What am I doing in this photo you ask? Why, I am being a tree lady too! Wasn't it obvious?

Is your bedroom next? Got a nursery or living room that could use some color? How about the chicken coop or the shed out back? Contact me if you are interested in talking about commissioning a mural!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my creative process in the creation of this project.

I have plenty of other things to show you soon, namely this past weekend I finished a custom commissioned body painting portrait session. Photos and details on that will be posted soon.

Much love,

P.S

I will be in SoCal come August, so if you are interested in commissioning a mural or body painting portrait session and you are out that ways, don't hesitate to set something up with me.

Bench Mural #1 in Portland Oregon

I scored an art easement via Alberta Art Works to paint two benches infront of Anna Bananas in the Alberta arts district of Portland Oregon.  So far I have painted one of the two bench murals.

Here is the finished bench:

And some process photos: 

This is a small acrylic concept painting on paper that Alberta Art Works approved for painting

I then prepped the bench surface with primer and began to lay a base coat of color down with acrylic spray paint. Once that was dry I began to line out the mural with a paint brush.

Then I began to block in all the colors, highlights and shadow.

Lastly, I added detail and went back over with black refining the lines. 

I also made a lil video out of footage Danny took of me painting the bench. Check out that vid here on my youtube channel. Hope you enjoy!

Big thanks to Alberta Art Works for facilitating this mural project. Collage, thank you for donating the mural paint! And thank you, Anna Bannanas for the wonderful community atmosphere on that lil corner of PDX.

I will be painting my 2nd bench mural next Saturday and I can hardly wait! I will be sure to take lots of photos and video to share with you, so stay tuned.


Much love and light,
