Murals
Murals are a great way to enhance a space — be it home, business, or outdoor area. I’ve had the pleasure of designing and painting murals for Carter & Rose (a local artist shop in Portland), as well as for several families based in Oregon.
Murals take approximately one to four weeks to design, depending on the complexity of the project and the number of revisions between myself and the client. The painting process generally takes one to two weeks, depending on the hours of accessibility to the space as well as the complexity of the project.

Past Projects
Mountainscape Mural
Lake Oswego, OR
This family wanted a mural that would create an achromatic gradient in their room. They originally attempted to create an ombre effect in the space by blending different shades of grey. However, this attempt didn’t go as successfully as they had wished, leading them to enlist my expertise.
I created this design knowing it would have a similar gradient effect and color scheme to their original plan, but would work with the inherent qualities of latex wall paint, a medium that doesn’t lend itself particularly well to blending. I had a lot of fun design and painting a mural that engaged the whole space, wrapping around the entire room.
Richter Mural
Forest Park, Oregon
The Richter family wanted a mural for the foyer of their home and gave me the extra challenge of making it portable. I decided artist panels would be a great solution for making a mural that would look good from a distance, maintain the original design and be easily transportable. I had a lot of fun working with this family and incorporating the wishes of both parents as well as their two sons. The final piece had a very playful quality that I hadn’t previously experimented with, but that I enjoyed a lot.
Carter & Rose Mural
Southeast Portland
Anna Von Rosenstiel, the owner of Carter & Rose, likes to keep her shop front continually evolving, always offering something new and exciting to look at, be it new handmade goods or changes to the space. In creating this design, I wanted to create a mural that would fit with Anna’s vision for the store and also be something timeless, continuing to suit the space as the product lines changed. I was really happy with how the final design made an overlooked corner of the store into a space where customers would pause to spend more time with the artwork and the products.
