My first mural was for my best friend’s mom. She knew my background and asked me if I could paint a mural for her. That was about 11 years ago, and the rest is history. I’ve done murals under the business name The Gilded Lily for homes and businesses throughout Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier counties. I LOVE nurseries and children’s rooms (so fun!) and most notably have a mural in the Rust Manor House in Leesburg that was featured in the 2008 Loudoun County Design Showcase.
I’ve been so fortunate to paint commissioned murals and watercolors, but 4 Calling birds is about my own vision. What I think would look amazing. How I’d like to transform a piece of furniture into something beautiful. Something that someone would like to have in their home, and choose to look at every day.
So here I am- using my dining room as my painting studio (I have a very patient husband), and turning trash into treasure! I love when a piece speaks to me, and it’s my job to give it new life.
