As a muralist and graphic designer, I create custom artwork that transforms walls into landmarks and brings stories to life. My services include small to large-scale murals for businesses, schools, and community spaces, as well as personalized art and design solutions that help clients visually share their identity and values.

 

Each project is rooted in collaboration — I take the time to listen, learn, and design with intention so the final piece not only reflects a vision but strengthens connection to place and community. Through bold color, thoughtful composition, and an approachable style, my work turns ordinary surfaces into inspiring focal points that leave a lasting impact.

 

For me, muraling is about more than paint on a wall — it’s about activating spaces, sparking conversation, and leaving a lasting mark that brings pride to community and inspires those who view it.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
