Rainbow Mural

An inside look into my most recent rainbow mural

A couple of years ago I teamed up with a Wee Gather to create a fun, playful murals to update an area of their interior event space. I decided on a modern rainbow mural that completely transformed the hallway space and quickly became a staple for mommy and me photos in the parent community in San Diego. After a couple of years of toddler wear and tear, the wall incurred some damage that required repair and resulted in the mural being painted over.

Elizabeth, the owner of Wee Gather, and I took the opportunity to give the space a refresh and design a new, contemporary version of the infamous rainbow mural. We decided on a bolder palette and a full, narrow arched rainbow to liven and modernize the space.

The new rainbow was a huge hit and a fan favorite, quickly reaching audiences far beyond San Diego, with the timelapse process video receiving over 7 million views (and counting) on TikTok.

Rainbows have since become synonymous with the SBFA brand, so you can expect to continue to see new rainbow wall adaptations in the near future!
