'Tyler'

This is an example of a child's name above their bed in their room.  This one features jungle animals in a very simplistic style.  This style is great for a nursery or toddler's room.  It is bold with crisp outlines, just what a baby would love to stare at!

Numbers

This is a cute, simple number theme, using flowers to count to three!

'Kids' Mural

This was a mural I painted at "Blessings Christian Book Store' in Hamilton.  It was above the children section of the store.  This was a Christian book store, so I decided on a little shepherd and his little sheep as a theme.

These are two photos of a mural I did at the Stratford Perth Museum.  There were paintings all over the museum.  These paintings were of a historical city scape of Stratford.

Buzz Lightyear!

This is a great theme for a little boys room.  The Toy Story characters are vibrant and exciting!

First Ideas

     Coming up with your design for your baby's nursery can be so exciting.  There are so many options and directions you could go.  One of the first things you should think about is what colour palette you would like to work with.  You need to ask yourself, what colour are the walls?  What style of furniture and bedding are in the room?

     The next thing to think about is the theme, whether it is going to be from a favourite book or movie, or an original idea.  These colours, styles, and ideas should be brought with you to our first consultation.  This way I can get a good understanding of what the room looks like before we start brainstorming!

Now what?

Your tiny little peanut is born!  If you were like me,  you did not know if it were a boy or a girl until the doctor told you in the delivery room!  And if you were like me, you thought you had more time to decorate before this bundle of joy arrived!  Never fear!  Chances are your new baby will be sleeping in a bassinet next to your bed under your watchful eye for the first few months.  This will give you time to invite me over and decorate for you! (since all your time will be in high demand by such a tiny person)

Reading under the tree

This is an example of one of my original designs.   Open wide scenery or gardens can make a soft and subtle addition to a child's bedroom.  The detail on this picture was actually rather difficult.  Although it looks like a large mural, it was actually really quite small.  It measures only about 1 ft sq.

peterrabbit

This is a favourite classic of Peter Rabbit. I remember every Easter, my sisters and I would get one of the Beatrix Potter books. I have always admired her illustrations!

Suess1

This is a Dr. Suess theme. It is based off the book "Hop on Pop" I enjoyed painting this mural since I love Dr. Suess. This is a painting of the 'Cat in the Hat'.

Suess2

This is from the book "Hop on Pop" by Dr. Suess. It is of three fish in a tree. But maybe that's obvious.
