I've always loved art. I love to draw and paint, and after taking several art classes and after massive encouragement from my family, I have taken the next step to make something out of a beloved hobby. Most of my inspiration comes from my family, and I now have two kids, Charlee and her little brother Jett. Like me, when some parents are expecting a new addition to the family, or redecorating a child's bedroom, they want that room to be personalized and special for their child. That is where my joy of painting has led me... to become a muralist.

I am very versatile... I do custom canvases in multiple sizes. And for those who live near the Des Moines, Iowa area, I can work with your children's rooms, windows, bathrooms, laundry rooms, almost any room you need.

Every child inspires. How does your child inspire you? Let me put their inspiration onto their walls...

Giraffe's Measurements

This is my friend the giraffe who loves to compare his height to yours. He is a little over six feet tall and is a fun way to keep track of your child's growth over the years. These Charting Measures are very easy to customize to fit whatever theme you need. Boy, girl, and gender neutral. I have another Charting Measure posted a couple posts below for you to check out another option...

Match n Mixers

These Match n Mixers are made to be fun. You can keep the characters as themselves or mix and match to create fun new characters.



Here is Princess Penelope in all her glory and glamour...


Here is Gertrude (a.k.a. Gert or Gertie), she's laid back yet has a fun personality...


Here is Pirate Arrrgh, watch out for this one... he's a bit slippery...


Then, once you get them all together, they are super fun to Match n Mix...


More characters are coming, and I can make custom characters for your little guy:)
Upcoming Match n Mixers:

Charting Measures

A fun memory to keep is the growth of your child. This is a handpainted measuring chart that makes your child's growth fun. This particular measuring stick is a happy sunflower, but you can place your own custom orders to make a measuring stick match your childs room or any theme.
