Rediscovering My Passion for Mural Painting in Western Colorado

Before this year, it had been quite a while since I painted a mural—and when I did, they were usually indoor murals for children’s bedrooms. But 2025 has been a year of rediscovery and transformation! I’ve had the joy of creating three outdoor murals here in Western Colorado, and each one has reignited my love for large-scale art.

I began the year by painting Cedar’s Mediterranean Cuisine’s food truck with colorful scenes inspired by Lebanon. In the middle of summer, I brightened a family’s backyard fence with a whimsical, childlike garden mural. And most recently, I completed my part of a large-scale community mural on the alley side of the Mosaic building in downtown Montrose, CO.

Each project has reminded me how murals can completely transform a space—bringing color, creativity, and personality to homes, businesses, and public areas. I love helping people reimagine their spaces through art!

Thank you, Montrose, for inspiring me to dive back into mural painting. I’m excited to see where my next project takes me!

If you’re in Montrose, Delta, Ridgway, or anywhere in Western Colorado and are thinking about adding a mural to your home or business, I’d love to talk about your ideas.

Longing

I’m honored to share that my piece “Longing” was created as a donation for the Montrose Center for Arts’ 2025 fundraiser. This event brought together so many incredible artists and supporters of the local arts community.

“Longing” was on display for just one day—Wednesday, February 12th, 2025—and I’m thrilled to say it sold within the first hour of the show opening. Moments like these remind me why I create: to connect, to contribute, and to be part of something bigger.

Supporting the arts means supporting the soul of our community. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the evening such a success!
