I have been painting since I can remember. It all started with watercolors, gradually evolving to larger canvases during my teenage years, and now I find myself getting paid to paint on walls—a notion that continues to astonish me.

Two years ago, I made the pivotal decision to transform how I show up in the world, both for my family and myself. This transformation began when I left my "stable" corporate job, a role that was slowly eroding my passion. With over 20 years of diverse experience in creative roles, including production coordinator, graphic designer, art director, and project manager, I had built a solid foundation managing budgets, teams of designers, and large Fortune 100 clients.

Currently, I balance managing household calendars with owning and operating Spring Garden Murals. As the sole designer and painter, I dedicate myself to each creation for companies, organizations, and homeowners in the tristate area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Transforming spaces through thoughtful design, branding, and effective communication strategies is not merely an aesthetic endeavor; it is an opportunity to convey messages, evoke emotions, and create memorable experiences. Utilizing paint on walls allows for artistic expression that can resonate deeply with individuals who inhabit those spaces.

Whether the aim is to inspire creativity in a workspace or to introduce warmth into a home, the careful selection of colors, patterns, and imagery can significantly enhance the environment and influence mood. Ultimately, this passion transforms not just the physical space, but the interactions and experiences of those within it, fostering a connection between the design and its occupants.
