Morgan Mural Studios

The real value and pleasure of working with Morgan was that we connected with her. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!
