"Although raised in the Pacific Northwest, I am a "traveling gypsy" at heart. I
have traveled extensively, and much of the inspiration for my work has stemmed from my
travels. Whether a desired affect be old world European or a splash of Caribbean flavor...
I am the artist for you!"
"When I embraced the concept of following my artistic endeavors as a full-fledged career,
I sought to find the top educators in this field. Through ongoing classes, workshops and
Conventions I continue to pursue my calling with pride and purpose. I consider many of
the individuals that I have trained with to be my artistic mentors."

"However, I would like to make special mention of
Aaron Cohen
of the Seattle Architectural Finishing Studio. I have greatly benefited from their classes,
expansive knowledge and ongoing support. I have also trained with
Jennifer Carrasco,
a local Seattle Artist, known for her amazing work at The Palace Kitchen and The Ruins, both
located in Seattle. I have also studied with the following individuals that also share a great
passion and appreciation of the Faux Artistry Industry: Greg Frohnapfel and John Catalanotto
of Pro Faux, Victor De Masi, David Schmidt, Henri Menendez, Jeff Raum and Jennifer Ferguson.
I am thankful to all of them for supplying me with the knowledge and materials to turn my
imagination into a reality for others to see what I see."

Mozelle by Design specializes in creating ambiance where an entire room is transformed
into a work of art through the use of Murals, Faux Finishes, Decorative Painting and
Venetian Plaster. Elegant to whimsical is how the projects are described-from children's
rooms to wine cellars, private homes to commercial applications. Please view the company website

Mozelle by Design organized 30 artists to participate in creating a wall to wall
playground of art for the Children's Village's "Early Childhood Education Facility" owned and
operated by Vision House,

as well as separately to homeless men with addictions. The Gates Foundation donated one
million dollars to the building of the structure. The joy of bringing art to fruition is
priceless!

Mozelle describes how it feels to follow her purpose in life, "With my feet planted firmly on the ground, it feels as though my heart is on a hot air balloon ride! I am so thankful to those who have written (or drawn) on the pages of my life."
