ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Taylor—Seattle based muralist, elementary school teacher, and dog mom. When I'm not painting or in the classroom, I'm creating personalized greeting cards & other crafty projects.

I've always loved murals for how they can transform a space, bringing both beauty and joy to residents and visitors. One reason why I began painting murals is to help beautify my own neighborhood. With graffiti and tagging being a growing problem in Seattle, I wanted to do something to stop local businesses and residential buildings from being defaced in a creative, purposeful way.

My style typically includes flat graphics, bold bright colors, stylistic text, and inspiration from my local community.

I want my murals to contribute to a sense of personal belonging, spark conversation, and build connections.
