Murals & Creative Spaces
Bringing a little art to life, one wall at a time.
Some artwork belongs on canvas. Other ideas are simply too much fun to stay there!
What began as a love for painting landscapes and meaningful moments has grown into bringing art to life on a much larger scale.
From whimsical milkshakes that make people smile to peaceful garden scenes and patriotic artwork, each mural tells its own story.
I love the challenge of transforming an ordinary wall or space into something unexpected, personal, and memorable. Whether it's creating a special photo opportunity for a business or adding a little personality to a private space, my goal remains the same: painting the best parts of life.
The Yard Milkshake Bar Mesa, AZ
Commercial Interior Mural | 6 x 6 Feet | 2026
My first commercial mural was created for The Yard Milkshake Bar in Mesa, AZ!
Designed as a playful photo opportunity for guests, this colorful mural features oversized milkshakes, a whimsical umbrella, adorable teddy bear details, a shark, and textured whipped cream that adds a little extra dimension.
From the sketch to the finishing touches, this project was an adventure in brining my artwork off the canvas and onto a wall.
And seeing the manager's reaction to the finished mural? That made every brushstroke worthwhile!
Garden of Peace | Iowa
Four-Sided Outdoor Mural | 2026
What began as an ordinary garden shed became a colorful retreat inspired by the beauty and peacefulness of nature.
Each of the four sides tells a different part of the story, with garden scenes, flowers, a koi pond, and little surprises tucked throughout the artwork.
And because I couldn't resist adding a personal touch, I hid Winston, my curious little studio companion, somewhere on each side!
This project was a labor of love, transforming an everyday structure into a place that invites people to slow down, smile, and enjoy the beauty around them.

Patriotic Eagle | Iowa
Outdoor Mural | Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary | 2026
In 1975, my mother painted the entire front of our family home to celebrate America's 200th anniversary. She passed away shortly afterward, but the memories of her creativity and patriotic spirit have stayed with me all these years.
As our nation prepared to celebrate its 250th anniversary, I wanted to carry on that tradition in my own way.
I recreated my original Patriotic Eagle painting on the front of our Iowa shed, transforming it into a tribute to our country, our freedom, and a very special memory of my mom.
Fifty years after my mother picked up her brushes to celebrate our nation's birthday, I found myself doing the same. And with every brushstroke came memories of her, our home, and a tradition I didn't realize I would one day continue.
Some paintings tell a story. Others bring one back to life.
Have a wall or special space that could use a little imagination?
Whether you're dreaming of a playful mural for your business, a memorable photo opportunity, or something meaningful for your home, I'd love to hear what you have in mind.
I take on select custom mural projects in Arizona's East Valley and Northwest Iowa, with each design thoughtfully created for the space and the story you want to tell.
Let's talk about your idea and see what we can create together!
Painting the places, people, and moments that make a house feel like a home and a memory worth keeping.
