Meet the Artists
It all started WITH SOME TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS…
Cara was leading the decorations team for an event and Cynthia’s husband volunteered her to help. Glue guns, styrofoam, and paint sparked a creative partnership that led us to redesigning a 5,400 sq. ft. preschool wing. Four years of working as a team taught us that our strengths complement each other. Cara’s vision and outside-of-the-box thinking, paired with Cynthia’s eye for precision and problem-solving skills help us to be better, because we create together.

I’ve always loved art since I was a little girl, but fell in love with mural painting when I was seventeen and my mom gave me the creative freedom to paint my bedroom however I wanted (and I do mean however!) Standing in front of those big empty walls opened a world of creative possibilities and sparked a passion for painting murals. I love how painting a mural in a space totally changes the way you feel. It’s beauty. It’s engaging. It brings joy. And I love bringing that joy to others. One of the world’s greatest artists Bob Ross said, “That may be the true joy of painting, when you share it with other people.” What can I paint for you?

Hey! I’m Cynthia.
I've been an artist all my life, but I discovered my love for transforming spaces when I got involved with set design for my high school theater. I could create a whole new world out of emptiness. The stage was my empty canvas. I loved that I could make things BIG. I went on to study sculpture in college, creating art installations and filling whatever space I was given. Murals were a natural transition for me, creating new spaces with color, paint and wood. They are the backdrop of our daily lives, gifting us with beauty and wonder.
