BREE The Mural Girl llc

Painting has been my passion since an early age and I truly love keeping art alive in the homes and businesses of those who share an appreciation for exceptional pieces created by hand. My parents gave us free rein to paint our rooms and something clicked. From then on, every vacation we went on, I would choose a class that involved painting or art in some medium. Over time my interest gravitated

toward painting murals of all types. I knew I really enjoyed this type of artistic expression. Little did I know I would someday make a living doing something that I love! After graduating from college, I traveled to Spain as a teacher and then taught in the U.S. While teaching was a rewarding experience, I could not deny my impulse to create and knew there must be a way to combine my art with my professional life. In 2004, I sold my first piece at a small Galveston art venue. This was encouraging and I chose to continue painting in hopes that I could earn a living that way. One year into this foray I realized that I’d failed as a marketer and was barely surviving as a starving artist. I returned to teaching again and did art on the side. For the next two years I read, researched and consulted with small business owners in hope that I could one day try again as a working artist. Now, seven years later, I am proud to say that I am still here today; a successful business owner painting every day for both new and repeat clients. I love what I do and I think it comes across in my art!
