Petra is an absolute joy to work with. It was very easy to communicate on ideas and planning and my tiny bathroom now has undeniable wow factor. Just stunning!

Petra is an excellent artist and it has been a joy to work with. She is extremely professional, punctual and has an amazing way of integrating herself into the local community. She was given freedom to create a mural which reflected the wildlife in the local area with the aim of brightening an extremely neglected space and expanding the perception of green space. She's hit the nail on the head and delivered artwork that the community are in love with! I am in no doubt the level of compliments on the ground reflect that. I am still extremely surprised the level of detail that was able to be achieved in her artwork (especially given the surface condition!), this is surely a testament to her attention to detail. I am overjoyed with the end result and have already recommended her work to others!

We loved having Petra at our school! She painted two beautiful murals and took ideas from our children about the wildlife they loved - it was a real celebration of our natural environment. Petra was brilliant with the children, running workshops that culminated in two wonderful displays and our children learning to paint from reference pictures and developing their observational skills. We couldn't be happier with our final murals - they're better than we could have imagined! Thank you, Petra, for your time and your talent!

We are absolutely delighted with the mural Petra created for us! She is a very talented artist and a lovely person too. She completely understood our requirements and carried out the work with great attention to detail. We would certainly welcome Petra back for any future murals!

Petra is a wonderful person and a very talented artist. Her calmness and artistic energy made the whole process very smooth and the entire family is over the “moon” with the result! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to add an artistic touch to their home or work place. We wish Petra all the best in her future projects!

Just brilliant! I chose Petra because of her enthusiasm for my project and after viewing some of her lovely previous work that gave me inspiration for mine. I chose my favourite flowers and the design was put together and then painted beautifully with great care and passion

Petra is firstly an incredibly talented artist. She did a large floral mural for me in my office/guest room space that was beyond my expectations. The colours and depth of her work are beautiful and breathtaking. I have already spent a lot of time just looking at the wall and admiring her beautiful work. I still can't believe it is in my house! It fills me with so much joy. Secondly, she is incredibly kind and collaborative. I had a small brief around a general colour scheme and some specific flowers I like and she was able to deliver something that felt so personal to me that came from the conversations we had together. She was a joy to have in my home and to work with. I am telling all my friends already that they should all have a mural in their home and that it should be by Petra. (Now just trying to find other spaces where I can have another mural done by her!)

We wanted a personalised painting to complement an elephant face crafted out of metal wire, and we found Petra here. We had a vision but no clue how to begin. Petra travelled all the way to our house in South East London and after 30mins of chit-chatting, we came up with a few options. Petra subsequently sent us a draft drawing and then the real deal arrived. The outcome was so much better than expected!

Petra was an absolute professional and engaging artist . She was so patient in helping us guide our brief in the right direction and we had complete confidence in her design. She has created something which we adore and is even better than what we could have imagined. Would definitely recommend !!!!

Petra has completely transformed our playground with a beautiful mural that captures the wildlife in our local area, and engaged our children through a fun and interactive workshop. She really incorporated the children’s ideas and, from the initial design through to the final touches, Petra has been wonderful - she has an eye for detail, is friendly and adaptable, and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her creativity and talent as well as her warmth towards children has made her well-loved in our school community! Thank you for this stunning mural that takes pride of place in our playground for all to enjoy.

We are so happy with the beautiful woodland animal mural that Petra designed and painted for our first baby’s nursery! She really made it personal to us, and even incorporated our family cat Peggy just perfectly! We couldn’t recommend Petra enough!

Petra did a beautiful job restoring a damaged mural. It looks absolutely perfect and you can't tell it was ever damaged at all. Petra was very easy to work with, responded so quickly and clearly to all messages and really went out of her way to accomodation my wishes. I recommend Petra as a talented artist and a pleasant, trustworthy person. Photos show before and after! Thank you Petra!

Petra was brilliant from start to finish. She responded promptly to all our messages and was very helpful. She talked us through the project before starting, and the mural she did for our child's wall was exactly what we wanted and we could not be happier with it. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

We cannot thank Petra enough for our beautiful mural - it has made a huge difference to our little garden - the neighbours are very jealous! Just gorgeous! Thank you ?

About
I'm a full-time professional mural artist based in East London, and I am incredibly inspired by natural history and obsessed with colour. I create large and small detailed, vibrant murals, inside and out, using acrylic paint and brushes. I paint giant flowers inspired by vintage botanical prints, graceful birds and characterful animals that appear to have stepped from the pages of an old encyclopaedia. Currently Artist In Residence on Toni & Guy ward at King's College Hospital, London. I have a degree in Fine Art from UAL Central St Martins and have many years of experience in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Italy and Australia. I am a respectful hard worker and am very tidy and careful at all times. Nothing makes me happier than painting wildlife and I think that shows in my work! I love to see people’s reactions to my work, it seems to bring a lot of joy to my clients' homes, hotels & holiday lets, schools, parks, hospitals, events and businesses. Do get in touch if you'd like some painted magic in your life!

I paint my designs that have been created after working with the clients

Pick me for these projects! :-

Projects that inspire others inspire me. A recent commission here was from a London primary school completely transforming the look of their playground with colour and local wildlife, produced after running workshops with the children. My goal was to inspire the kids to think big, to respect and love nature and to always be creative. I love travelling for work and have painted murals in France, Italy, The Netherlands and Australia

I'll sit these ones out :-
