She was very personable, very sincere, very collaborative, but not one to sit back and let us lead it in a wrong direction. We trusted her completely from the past work she had done for us, and told her, 'here is a wall, do something with it - surprise us.' It's like dealing with a friend. > > The murals she has created for us make our home more intimate, warm, and personal. I was surprised at how quickly she worked, how easily it got done, and how watching the process was enlightening. It just flowed; it was like watching a very large masterpiece being created before our very eyes. It was especially interesting when she got into the tonality and the tints. For us, it turned out better than we could have expected. I absolutely recommend her without a doubt. **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > Thank you, Sandy, for being such a loyal and supportive longtime client with -might I add- exceptional taste! You have surrounded your home and life with art and I am glad to have played a part in that. **★★★★★ — milkylavache, April 2014** > Morgan created a mural on an interior wall of our house several years ago. Later, I started thinking about a mural on an outside wall. However, our Eichler has that typical grooved vertical siding on the exterior of the house, and I couldn’t figure out how we could do it. > > After driving through a city known for murals on many of its buildings, some of them with cinderblock walls, I realized that there is a place for a mural. Our living room has a cinderblock wall, like many Eichlers. > > The front yard is very shady, and it’s difficult to grow flowering plants, so I wanted color. Morgan came over on a chilly December morning, set up her table, and started painting. By the end of the day, she was mostly finished. She returned the next morning and completed the job. > > I could not be happier with the results. We got an instant garden, complete with a squirrel, birds, and butterflies. I cannot imagine the front of our house without it! **★★★★★ — ckuro, Jan. 2014** > Morgan donated her painting talents and created stunning Hawaiian murals for a playhouse I designed for a fundraiser. The playhouse was then auctioned off and the proceeds benefited a wonderful cause. It was a successful project in large part due the beautiful murals she created. They brought the playhouse to life and captured people's imaginations. The aloha spirit emanated from the images - you could almost feel the water, touch the foliage and feel the warm breezes of Hawaii. Morgan herself is magical. I left the images up to her and she came through with an end result that went beyond my expectations. She is a pleasure to work with and amazing to watch paint - her talent is incredible. I would highly recommend her as a muralist that can add magic to any room or surface with her paintings. **★★★★★ — lschlen25, Jan. 2014** > We asked Morgan to create a mural for our baby boy's nursery. The result was magical! We gave her just a few thoughts on what he had in mind and she turned it into a beautiful work of art inspired by the Marin landscape. There are wonderful details throughout the mural -- antique planes, balloons, ducks, sail boats, ferries. You could look at the mural for hours. And the mural is perfect for a little boy's room. It is calming but still fun. Every time I walk in the room I am struck by how much I love Morgan's work. And everyone else who sees the mural says how much they love it as well. Plus Morgan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was open to our ideas and feedback, and was very flexible. She even returned a few months later just to write our son's name on one of the elements. We are so happy that we found Morgan and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a muralist in the Bay Area. **★★★★★ — Kathy Cole, Jan. 2014** > Morgan is amazing! We first had her design and create murals in both of our daughters' bedrooms. Each child has their own interests and color schemes (one is pink and pigs, the other is purple and horses). Morgan made sketches in advance and met with both myself and my girls to talk about ideas, themes and things she had created in the sketches. She then had each girl help with the final execution of the murals. They are amazing and unique and each of our girls is still SO thrilled to have them (over one year after completion!) Should you ever want to look or talk in person, I am happy to talk to you. > > Onto a second and even BIGGER project, our school's PTA hired Morgan to paint one wall of our Multi Purpose Building. It is our hot lunch center, our chess club, our music department and many other things all in one. Morgan again sketched ideas and talked to the PTA Committee and teachers about her ideas and thoughts on what should be represented in the mural. She allowed children to talk to her and give her ideas daily as she painted the final product. We get so many compliments from parents and campus guests on the mural. I always, always, always am the first to recommend Morgan for ANY mural project, big or small. Please feel free to contact me or set up a time to meet at my home or at the school to view any of the murals I described above. > > Lastly -- she painted some unusual food characters on the walls inside the Multi Purpose Building that are out of this world and so interesting to the kids (with a self defining key in the right hand corner). Morgan IS out of this world talented! **★★★★★ — mblack240us, Jan. 2014** > Morgan is an extremely gifted artist that we hired to paint a large mural at our school. As the PTA president that hired, managed her I highly recommend her work! She gave a few different visual ideas, worked with a small focus group to gain consensus, and then executed her wonderful "product" while including a range of children in her work! She even let the children that were interested help her paint. > > Morgan is amazing- she really is a special artist! **★★★★★ — David Troyer, Jan. 2014** > This Christmas, I hired Morgan to do a surprise portrait of my three kids for my wife. The experience working with her was fantastic and most importantly my wife absolutely loved it! It is pretty exciting to have an original piece of art that will stay in the family going forward. Morgan, thanks for everything! **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > Thank you for trusting me with with awesome assignment, David! **★★★★★ — bclavier, Jan. 2014** > Morgan not only creates beautiful murals but also takes you on an artistic journey. We had a mural done for our daughter's room. She was able to understand her taste and incorporate her input as well as ours. We all love it. It was a fantastic few days seeing it all come together. Highly recommended! **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > Thank you, Bernadette! I loved making the mural creation video with Jade! **★★★★★ — mikeykindler, Jan. 2014** > Working with Morgan was an absolute pleasure. We had a couple of quick meetings to get to know each other and talk through the concepts I wanted for my children's rooms. Morgan was creative, made lots of great suggestions and quickly came up with a plan for two very different concepts (one for an older child and one for a baby). She was sensitive to budget and we also discussed artistic ways to make the murals last (e.g. more lifelike animals rather than cartoonish). > > Once Morgan started our project, I was amazed by how quickly the murals were done. She and I talked through elements I loved and wanted to enhance and also a few changes I wanted to make. Morgan was very receptive to my feedback and implemented every little idea I had (and that my children had) the next day. Even with my last-minute requests and edits, Morgan completed the projects on-time and budget! > > Morgan is a great artist and a very professional individual. She brought a huge amount of feeling to the murals in my children's room and really wanted them to be perfect and make sure that we were all happy. Everyone who comes to our house loves them and I would happily work with Morgan again. **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > Thank you, Mikey! It was a pleasure to get to know you and your family. **★★★★★ — Anne G, Nov. 2013** > Morgan came into our home and transformed our kid's rooms into the most incredible, magical spaces. Words cannot describe how in love we are with her work. The entire process was so easy. After a brief consultation, she was able to bring our visions to life. A true professional, Morgan was respectful of our space, welcomed our family to partake in conversation during her painting and most of all made it fun! If only we could have Morgan paint every room in our house! If you are thinking of adding a special artistic touch to your home- please don't hesitate to contact Morgan. **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > It is the best part of my work to make cool new friends like you! I am in awe of your thoughtful, patient parenting. Your kids are so lucky! **★★★★★ — ljscwo, Sept. 2013** > Morgan painted a beautiful mural in our kitchen for us. We were very pleased with the entire experience. She came to our house to discuss what we wanted, came up with a sketch, and then in about 3 days had it on our wall. It is beautiful! The mural is in a busy traffic area and has proven to be very durable and even washable. We are very happy with our choice. **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > I am so glad to hear the mural is holding up well! **★★★★★ — jillhamp, Sept. 2013** > I have so many wonderful things to say about Morgan's work. It's hard to know how to start. After a lot of debate about how to decorate a long, narrow hallway in our home my husband and I decided to look into doing a mural. The space was awkward 18 feet long x 22 feet high and was the space that our daughter's bedrooms opened into. We saw Morgan's van with her website advertised on the side and decided to give her a call. She returned my call with in the hour and scheduled a time to come see the space that same day. We were thinking of an underwater theme...and I had no idea what or how we could transform this space into something beautiful. Morgan was so perceptive, creative and thoughtful. She really listened to what we wanted and was able to transform our ambiguous ideas into something that far exceeded any of our expectations. The space is now filled with what looks like the most beautiful Hawaiian aquarium ever. There is a giant lifelike humpback whale and calf that descends > into the space from up high and gorgeous coral reefs, fish, seals, turtles, seahorses and vibrant colors. She did some glow in the dark paint as well....so at night the schools of fish and jellyfish light up. Amazing!!! Our daughters love it!! We have people come to our home and stare in awe at the work! Morgan worked quickly and professionally and was always a treat to have in our home. We loved her work so much we decided to have her do our daughters room as well with an island and ocean scene. We love it!! **Comment from Morgan Mural Studios:** > Jill, it has been such a pleasure to work with you on so many cool projects throughout your house! Now your dreams have come true and you live the good life in Hawaii. Making us all jealous. ## Selected projects - [Lake Tahoe Wall Mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-tahoe-wall-mural-pj-vj~172990) - Location: Los Altos, San Francisco Bay Area, CA - Photos: 3 - Description: This house was remodeled to include an expansive subterranean living space that looked out onto plain stucco walls. The family loves to enjoy time in Lake Tahoe, so they decided to capture the view of the lake on a picture perfect day. This mural showcases my specialty of painting large landscapes on retaining walls.

I painted an Italy inspired landscape on a spiral staircase. I also painted the ceiling with clouds and the stairway landing with Trompe L'Oeil limestone bricks and wall niches.

The subject is a collage of the clients' favorite places, tied together into one cohesive image. They have a beautiful view of Half Dome, their family vacation home, and a golf course tucked into the scene. This wall can be seen from several rooms in the house, and it provides a lovely view from the patio.

I later added the child's name drawn with a stick in the sand.

The clients and I decided we wanted the animals to look natural, but well fed, sweet but not cartoon-y. We wanted to gently stretch reality without adding palm trees or pandas. (Why does safari themed bedding always include palm trees?) I think we succeeded in a safari experience that is playful to live in, but also peaceful and calming.

The architecture, furniture, and now art all echo the relaxed abundance of the good life in sunny southern France, one of their favorite vacation destinations.

The letters of his name (Lucas) create a frame for the stadium. Bricks, crumbling plaster and water stains, add an urban grunge feel perfect for an up and coming teenager. All the elements were hashed out clearly with my son ahead of time. We even had a signed contract. He had stipulated bubble letters, and when I decided to make it more angular, he was up in arms about the "breach in contract". In the end, he decided how it turne… - [Baseball Wall Mural of Dodgers Stadium](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baseball-wall-mural-of-dodgers-stadium-pj-vj~145613) - Location: Santa Monica, CA - Photos: 3 - Description: Imagine waking up each morning to a stadium of thundering applause - for YOU! I think we could all use a little bit more daily appreciation, and I hope that through this 4-wall baseball stadium mural, one lucky soul will now receive that daily gift. I had the pleasure of traveling to beautiful Santa Monica, CA to paint this Dodger Stadium for this boy's room. I have the feeling that the little league crowds he will be facing in the coming years won't phase him a bit!

The mural includes images of the family, their friends and extended family. The quaint town scene is a sweet, inviting backdrop for their pool and foosball table, or for a game of indoor soccer on the artificial turf flooring. I incorporated trompe l'oeil elements with realistic scale and also long vistas, so the viewer feels like they can walk right in to the scene.

This is a real fishing boat cut in half and mounted on the ceiling. The artwork conveys a peaceful afternoon in the ocean from the perspective of a fish. The client has spent many a fine day fishing with his family, and wanted to celebrate his hobby in a big way. The ceiling includes my client catching a big marlin, with the end of a pole and actual line going to the Marlin mounted on the wall. His wife is enjoying the breeze and his daughter is dangling her fe… - [Decorative Floral and Butterfly Wall Mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-floral-and-butterfly-wall-mural-pj-vj~145621) - Location: Los Altos, San Francisco Bay Area, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: I created this butterfly and floral wall element for a 5 year old girl with the intention that she will enjoy it now, and as a teenager.

We decided to add another layer of texture and interest to the wall that would enhance, but not compete with the clients amazing collection of fine art paintings. I took inspiration from hand-painted wallpaper used in fine homes at the turn of the century to create a soft, organic backdrop for the room. I also designed and painted the ornate Spanish colonial sty… - [Ceiling Mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ceiling-mural-pj-vj~7295632) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 5 - [Dining Room Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-room-details-pj-vj~7295623) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/artists-and-artisans/morgan-mural-studios-pfvwus-pf~914686312) ## Ideabooks - [Front room ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/141776538/list/front-room-ideas) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/muralsbymorgan) ## Community Q&A **Q: Need help to turn garage wall into a creative space** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'd like to turn one plain cream coloured plasterboard wall of my single car garage into a welcome art space, so that when I step out of my car I can immediately be carried away into another world, through seeing postcards, artwork, idea boards. Would welcome any ideas for a low cost transformation...perhaps using cork, op shop notice boards, magnetic boards etc A: Now that everyone knows I talk to myself a lot, and write notes to myself, I guess I will share my latest personal creative space idea. For years I have posted/taped/nailed things that inspired me over my work space. I loved to feel the psychic encouragement, but it did look cluttered. Last weekend I decoupaged them all into a collage, and it makes me very happy to look at all my favorite people quotes and images in one piece. **Q: The artist** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please give his/her name and contact info.? Thanks. A: I'll take credit for this one! You can find more of my murals at www.muralsbymorgan.com. Thanks for asking! **Q: Who's got a "Before and After" to share?** *(in Before & After)* I'd LOVE to see them! Who doesn't love a great transformation? It can be a big change or a small change. Post your before and after as a separate post (Be sure to include "Before and After" in your title or post) then comment here with a link to your post to share it. Be sure to include lots of photos! This photo by: http://www.houzz.com/pro/alriti A: After- Now she has a blooming, low maintenance garden to look out onto while she eats her breakfast! **Q: what is the best way to do the clouds on the ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi All! I painted the clouds on the ceiling, and used a bluish grey, instead of white since the ceiling was already a deep greyish blue. It worked great for a teen boy. Not too childish at all. You can find a video of how I paint clouds here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cekO-tGZNZw You can also find more of my work at my online portfolio here: www.muralsbymorgan.com --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
