New January 2011 - Extreme Makeover Home Edition Savannah

I had the honor of painting a mural for four-year-old Katelyn's room and working with Extreme Makeover Home Edition Savannah. You can read more about the mural at WJCL and FOX 28. The episode will air on January 16th at 8/7 central and debut the mural I painted in her entire room, as well as my vintage bird fabric in the kitchen and 2000 sheets of embellishing gold leafing! After seventeen hours of painting the first day, I completed the mural just in time before the Simpson family walked in...

I am grateful for the assistance of dear friends and local business owners--I could not have applied the 2000 sheets of gold leaf without them!! A very special thanks to shopSCAD Art Director Amy Zurcher and SCAD Vice President Kari Herrin, Vice President of Creative Direction at SCAD, for recommending me, Erica and Laney Childres & Cheri Wilson, owners of Midnight StarPottery; Heather and Corey Fountain with MacAljon for providing my scaffolding and ladder; Ony Salon owner Tiffony and her husband, talented carpenter Peter Simpson; faux artists Beverly Elmore and sister Christa; Meghan Harrington,Office Manager of E2 Marketing; as well as the entire Coastal Paint &Decorating team and Jerrysartarama! A special thanks to the Savannah Ruth's Chris for graciously donating to help raise funds for the family!
