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...

Storybook Mural


So, there is a very special baby who gets to have a very special storybook room.
This mural is a compilation of all of the parent's favorite children's books...
This room is filled with Winnie the Pooh, the Cat in the Hat, the Giving Tree and Boy, the Guess How Much I Love You Bunnies, the Hungry Caterpillar, and lots of other very fun additions...


Here I was just playing around with some of the different effects with my camera, but you can see all of the characters...

Here is the boy from the Giving Tree

Here, the Hungry Caterpillar is crawling along the fence...


and mister Cat in the Hat is strolling his way down into the mural...



Winnie the Pooh, floating up above the whole mural...


And the Guess How Much I Love You Bunnies playing in the corner...


This is a little taste of the other little accents that spread throughout the mural...

And, of course, you can't have a mural in Iowa without corn, so here is the super fun cornfield...


This is a simple little fabric canvas that will add even more fun to the walls:)

Overall, this is a very special room, made for a very special baby!!!
