New mural for the most recent Lady 280 Salon expansion! Big thanks to @annabentleyclark for the creative freedom on this one 🫶🏼🎨

Last week I painted another waiting room for Horizon in Littleton 🎨 This was a cool project for me because around two and a half years ago I painted the same size space for them in another office, and it’s fun to see how my art has evolved. Both times the direction from the client was to paint a scene you’d see out a mountain cabin window 🌄 First pic is the new one, second and third are from 2022. ☺️

Basecamp Books mural time lapse 🎥 🎨 I love the colors and style of this design, I had so much fun painting it - I ended up doing a different gradient on the tent than I planned and I’m thrilled with how it turned out! Check them out and see this mural in person over on Maizeland and Academy if you’re in Colorado Springs 📍 They also have super cute stickers in stock by @wildlyenough 🫶🏼

📚🎧 Lately I’ve been listening to the audiobook series Haunting Danielle by Bobbi Holmes, they’re cozy-mystery style and have been an easy listening break from the usual nonfiction books! Next up is potentially 1491 by Charles C. Mann - let me know in the comments if you have any book recommendations! I did already read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and am *impatiently* waiting for the third book 😉

Okay so, do you guys remember the first handheld Mario games? Like on the Gameboy? I remember playing them on the Gameboy Advanced (you know, the square one that flips open). One of the things in this @goodtime_machine vending machine is a little handheld retro Gameboy-style console with a few hundred of those original games already programmed into it 🤓

When I was painting this the owner gave me one, and I - no joke - played it that night for like four hours straight 🫣 It was shocking to me how much information from Mario/Super Mario I still had stored in my memory 😅 Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but I genuinely miss the days of self-contained video games. I have never been somebody who plays video games with an intent to interact with other people 😂

Check out this Vending Machine and its’ nostalgic contents at @lostfriendbrewingco over off Academy and Union! In the meantime, I’ll be playing Mario 🍄😉

Hi friends! Just wanted to reintroduce myself, so

Hi friends! Just wanted to reintroduce myself, so for those of you that are new here, I’m Peri 👋🏼

Some things about me and my mural business 🎨

✨This picture was taken in Belize in September ✈️ (I’ve been traveling a lot lately, apologies for the lack of posts!)

✨I’ve been a full time artist for 7 years, but have been self employed mostly painting murals for the last 5 🗓️

✨When people apologize for no reason I think the appropriate response is “Thank you for being here” 💛

✨I have a makeshift volleyball court in my backyard and my friends and I play most weekends in the summertime 🏐

✨One of my favorite things about painting murals is the potential for exceptional conversations with people I wouldn’t have otherwise met ☺️

✨When not painting or playing volleyball, in my free time I also play guitar 🎶

✨I have a degree in journalism and computer science from CU Boulder, but I spent most of my time in college painting 🤷🏻‍♀️

✨I probably have too many cats 😻

✨I listen to audiobooks nonstop while I’m painting, so if you want a book recommendation I have LOTS, and if you have a book to recommend, please share!

✨Lately I’ve been playing with light and color in painting and exploring those in realism, and I’m excited to keep learning!

If you want to know anything else, just ask 😁 Thanks for your support! 🩵

Here’s the little boy’s room mural I painted for the same client 🥰 This one is cool colors rather than warm colors inspired from the same blanket set. Love how these turned out! 🎨

🎧📚 I listed to Unnatural Causes by Richard Shepherd and An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison while painting this one! I enjoyed them both but they aren’t at the top of my book recommendations list 🤷🏻‍♀️
