As you start painting murals, you’ll begin accumulating a variety of brushes. If you’re just beginning, don’t worry about specific brushes so much, it’s not too big of deal. You’ll learn what you like as you go and it’ll become easier to choose your brushes.

Living in Jackson Hole, I get request after request from people I know that are traveling here to see the Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. Here are my favorite things to do in the summer

I know that pricing anything can be the most daunting part of art (or any type of freelance work) but it doesn’t have to be super complicated. Step 1: Location. Understanding your location is important. Depending on where you live…

Creating exciting murals doesn’t have to be a super detailed process, often more simplified murals are more eye-catching. This is great news for beginner muralists (actually all muralists) because they are a simple way to get a lot of practice without putting a ton of effort into designing. Try out one of these…

There are a few things that are must-haves for skiers and snowboarders and those are: a cute outfit, a pair of rad skis or a sick board, and fun accessories. We won’t get super technical because let’s be honest, gear can go on and on and onnnn. So these are the most awesome items that will make your ski days the best they can be.

Ski season is upon us and for me, that means it’s time to start thinking about ski gear, and outfits in particular:) The coolest way to look unique this season = a custom painting helmet!

I came up with a list of some products artists have made that are * MUST HAVES * for 2021. Below are the most fun products to gift for Christmas 2021 that you can use in the snow this winter - inside or outside:)

As a Visitor - or even a local - in Jackson Hole, it can be tough to decide where to hike. But also, the abundance of trails, lakes, mountains, and rivers means you can’t really go wrong! It also means it’s easy to get lost - but maybe that’s just me, haha.

Sometimes the art world can be so sneaky, like hearing, “hard work and hustle will get you anything!” Okay sure, but I don’t just want to give you a bunch of generic tips and tricks that you should try. I’m going to tell you the exact methods I used to get my first big mural job.

One question I hear a lot from artists that are just starting to get into muraling is if they should paint for free to get some experience. Great question in a time when artists are wanting to prove their worth.

Lately, my clients have been requesting removable murals. Surprisingly, there are a number of options! Since people move a lot more these days than they used to, painting “removable murals” are a great option.

Using a projector is definitely one of the easiest ways to get your artwork onto the wall, but there are a number of problems that can occur if a projector is your only option. Here are just some of the potential downfalls:

So you REALLY wanna paint a mural, but no one will give you a wall to paint on, gosh darnit! Not to fear, there are lots of options for you. And the best part - any of these ideas we discuss can totally be used in your portfolio to get clients!

I’m not a professional coffee maker, but my little coffee spread in my kitchen (and my confidence surrounding it) could definitely fool you;)

What I’m saying is: it’s okay if you aren’t an artist! You can still paint murals and make them look daaaang good! Let’s take some daring baby steps into it…

Is there a perfect mural paint I’m supposed to be using? Will I look like an amateur if I don’t use the correct paint. Who do I even ask?? I wondered all this at the beginning too.

Sometimes it’s hard to get started on a project if you don’t even know what stuff to use to actually…get started.

So having good supplies, and more specifically, the right supplies can make all the difference. But then, do you need all the name brand stuff? I say if you can buy the good stuff, do it! But, if you aren’t ready to invest in some of the pricier brands, that’s totally fine too.

A mural under 10 bucks? Whaaaa? Are you wondering if I wrote that right?

Sure did! Best news all day, I’d say.

Freelancing doesn’t exactly have one straight path to success, and usually, a lot of creativity is involved in getting the gigs you want. However, there are a few tips and tricks that can be helpful along the way. Here are how I answered a high schoolers questions on getting clients, getting paid, and getting mural jobs.
