I have been passionate about visual art since I was young; it has always been more than just a hobby. My childhood was filled with entering art competitions and shows, attending art classes, and spending most of my free time experimenting with various mediums and techniques. Growing up, I watched my mother work as a muralist and art teacher, and learned by observing her process and helping when needed.
Throughout my life, I have been blessed with many opportunities that have led to a successful career as a Creative Director, Graphic Designer, and Muralist working throughout the state of Florida. I hold an A.A. in Visual Art, a B.S. in Graphic Design, and an M.B.A. in Executive Leadership, which enables me to utilize my artistic abilities professionally.
In 2018, I founded Carroll Design Co., a boutique creative agency in Downtown Lakeland, Florida. My business combines my love for art with graphic design and creative direction by creating artistic brands and thoughtful public art. Both jobs provide opportunities to spread joy or help create awareness for small businesses, organizations, or causes.
I apply one core belief to every project I’m tasked with—to conceptualize ideas based on a story, mission, or feeling, rather than using existing styles and trends in the industry to create something unique. My mural process begins with sketching, followed by an accurate digital rendering of the preliminary artwork onto a photo of the wall, and lastly, using these steps to create a large-scale painting. My style is influenced by classical art, with rich, earthy tones and dramatic lighting. The subjects in my artwork often seem simple, but the goal is to draw attention and give meaning to things we frequently overlook, like the beauty of a small bird, plant, or nature around us.
I am always looking for blank walls where I can explore new ideas and more creative subjects. Let’s work together! – Mae
Murals take around 4 weeks to paint depending on the complexity of the design, and the size of the wall.
Mural projects are estimate-based. Pricing is determined by the size, texture, and location of the area that needs to be painted, and the complexity of the design/artwork.
Mural estimates include all paints and supplies. However, if a lift, scaffolding, or any other rental equipment is required, those will be at the client's expense. Lifts are usually required for murals beyond 12ft high. Lodging and travel expenses may also be at the client's expense. (These details are discussed at the beginning of the project, and vary based on project needs and requirements.)
Unfortunately, I cannot offer work on mock-ups or sketches before receiving a deposit. If you'd like to have a sketch or mock-up before locking in a mural project, I can simply quote a separate price for a stand alone mock-up or design. If you decide later you'd like to move forward, I will discount the price of the mock-up from your mural estimate.
I use professional grade mural and theme paints or exterior paints that are weather and UV resistant. If you're worried about the longevity of your mural, you can request additional protection with a UV resistant clear coat for an additional fee. This is recommended case-by-case and not necessary for all murals.
Absolutely! I provide both mural and design services across the globe. However, if travel is required, these expenses may be the responsibility of the client for the duration of the project.
