Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I Paint. And I teach. I paint paintings and murals. I teach assorted Art & Craft classes to adults and children, (see below). For Murals and Paintings: I Paint What You Dream Of Seeing On Your Walls! I design according to what is desired to fit existing items in an environment. I am also very thorough and careful and completely protect the surround items from paint. Unlike many other painters, I seal my murals for an added layer of protection that gives the mural an even satin or matte surface coating so the finish uniform and easily cleaned if needed without damaging the mural. Also, my designs are uniquely soothing and relaxing. And the images of people or animals all have friendly eyes and compassionate expressions. I also get a lot of comments that clients love my use of color. I can paint muted or brilliant and the color changes and fades with in my murals are magical and engaging. In regard to my Art classes: I teach beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. My focus is on being light hearted and helping students enjoy creating. Aside from building skills, the biggest hurdle is getting students to love it enough to practice painting and drawing as they improve faster when the use their skills, and the monkey-mind is not inhibiting their progress. I offer private classes and often have a few group classes available. I teach beginning drawing, non-traditional watercolor, color pencil, And chalk painting, (street painting). And currently have a few group classes at University Art Store in Redwood City. In painting, I really love Artistically Enlightening Environments. I love dreaming into the design, designing, drawing and painting mock-ups, prepping the surface and area around it, enlarging the layout, and painting the image, as well as sealing and doing the finishing touches to complete a job. Perhaps my most favorite moment is the first putting the first marks of background color on the wall. In teaching, I love helping students be experimental and free with their attempts so they go beyond their wildest dreams for what they are accomplishing. I like to share the joy of creating as a meditation and settling practice.

Erin is an outstanding muralist. I have worked with her since 1994 when she first included the fine art of street painting to her large format mural work. She has been a street painter in San Rafael, CA every year since and the quality of her work is great. As founder of both the Youth in Arts Italian Street Painting Festival and Italian Street Painting Marin, I highly recommend Erin for your mural needs.

Erin did a fabulous job for me . I recently moved to the Rocklin area and wanted a painting depicting the surrounding terrain. She knew exactly what I was talking about. We went back and forth with a few sketches, a preliminary and then the final product. It was beautiful. The painting has so much depth, and the sky is phenomenal. Can't say enough good things about my experience.
