The Inspiration
There is something so fitting about filling a child’s room with Californian wildflowers.
California has some of the most breathtaking wildflowers in the world. Bringing them indoors and scaling them up to fill a wall presented an exciting challenge.
Larger Than Life
Rather than creating a wallpaper-style pattern of small repeated blooms, I painted the flowers at a larger than life scale. This makes them feel more immersive and magical. The effect is playful and wonder-filled, but also beautiful in a way that transcends the typical children’s room aesthetic.
Designed to Grow With Her
One of the things the family was most thoughtful about was longevity. They didn’t want a mural that would feel babyish in a few years and need to be painted over. They wanted something their daughter could grow up with, something that would delight her at five, and feel cool and artistic as a teenager.
The Design and Painting Process
I first sketched the composition on paper and worked with the clients to determine the color scheme. I then sketched the design loosely on the wall. Finally, I painted over my sketch, using a small brush to ensure solid color over the textured wall.
A Room She Will Always Love
What I hope most for this mural is that it grows alongside its owner and continues to be a source of wonder and delight.
