Harmony by Kailey Geary Art in Boise

In May 2023 , I had the pleasure of completing this vibrant mural for a cozy storefront off 9th and Pearl St. in Boulder, CO. The piece was heavily inspired by Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes, especially the colorful wildflowers that emerge after the snow has melted, signaling the arrival of spring. I aimed to capture that sense of renewal and natural beauty throughout the mural. One of the most exciting design choices was incorporating the building’s architectural features, particularly the window trim. I used the arch above the entrance to create a radiant sun, which fades into a soft, gradient sky, setting a peaceful tone for the storefront. This interaction between the structure and the artwork made the mural feel more integrated with the space. Inside the shop, I added a playful touch by painting the HVAC unit to resemble a flowing river. I included Colorado’s state fish, the Greenback Cutthroat Trout, swimming through rapids, adding a local nod to the mural. I love how it brings an unexpected, whimsical element to the interior, adding to the store’s charm!
