Murals of Magnolia & Quotes




















Just before Christmas, a friend of mine commissioned me to add some warmth to her bedroom. She and her husband had recently reconfigured the room by adding a petition which allows her to have a studio just feet from her side of the bed.

She came to me with quotes she wanted to include and said she wanted to have magnolias on the petition. We worked together on came up with these designs to integrate into her existing color scheme.


The three quotes are:

It is not what we do, it is how much love we put in the doing. - Mother Teresa

Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments. - Rose Kennedy

Grow along with me. The best is yet to come. - Robert Browning

Welcome to my Home


It took me four years to find the right words to welcome guests to my home. If you were to visit my home and enter the side entrance, which is the entrance we use daily, these are the words I give to you.

New Humpty Dumpty pattern

In October one of my husband's coworkers saw the Humpty Dumpty I had painted of a police officer. He wanted one too and asked if I could paint a nurse so he could give one to his wife. This is what I came up with. They were pleased and so was I.
