Murals that bring a space to life<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With years of experience as an artist and muralist, I create unique, hand-painted murals that add beauty, character and value to a space.<\/p>\n

Inspired by nature, I love painting trees, plants, flowers and birds. My murals celebrate nature\u2019s beauty, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who enters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I had great fun painting this XL peace dove for author Karin de Man-Rietmeijer of @365dagenvegan, under the watchful eyes of her dogs Hannah and Marina.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The brief for the mural below was: \u201cPaint something involving illusionism or magic.\u201d It was great to have such creative freedom. Over five working days, spread across several weeks, I transformed the bedroom into this magical stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The bottom part of the wall is painted to make it look as though the floor continues up the wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Piesma family in Driebergen asked me to \u201cplay a trick on their garage door\u201d. Here\u2019s the result:<\/p>\n<\/div>

In Belgium, I had a wonderful stay at Feathery Forest\u2019s vegan woodland cottage, where I created this mural.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div>

I painted Charlie on the front of the cottage. Charlie roams freely there with Teddy. All the animals at Feathery Forest were either adopted because they needed a new home or rescued from animal agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>

This is a ceiling mural. Since there are bookcases in the room and Eddy wanted something featuring fish, I painted the fish as if they were emerging from the books.<\/p>\n<\/div>

TIME<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The time needed to create a mural depends on its size and complexity. Larger murals usually take around five working days. The dove and hummingbird took about two working days, while each indoor door took around one working day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
