Enchantment

2023, 8x10ft, interior latest paint Enchantment was painted for my nursery, giving it an enchanted forest theme. The goal was to be both calming and a little bit mystical, with just a touch of whimsy.

Movement Mural

2020, 13x78ft, cement paint This mural was completed for the Lehigh Valley Parkour Academy to decorate their space. There were several interesting design points I had to consider; the mural was to cover the wall and hide shoe marks, be useful for coaching, and be aesthetically pleasing but not visually distracting for students. The color choices were based on the Academy’s current branding.
