Murals by Monica

Monica Guzowski has been painting for almost as long as she can remember, but her first mural was on the wall of her daughter's nursery.  "I could do this for a living.  Do what you love....."

After graduating from Viterbo University in La Crosse, WI, Monica pursued a career in theatre where she was very active both on stage and off.  "My goal was to avoid having to wait tables, so I studied both theatre performance and design."  Although she spent many hours sewing costumes and constructing sets, she would be seen most often painting the sets and backdrops.  In 1992, Monica began teaching and directing at the Children's Theatre of Western Springs, where she continued to improve her scenic painting skills over the course of 6 years and a  continuous supply of new sets.

Monica started her mural business in 1998 when her daughter started kindergarten.  "I realized that I would never see my own child if I continued to teach in the afternoon and evenings, and I remembered that first mural, so I began painting on people's walls." 

She was able to take her skills to new levels after being hired by Mattingly Home Decorating in Chicago, IL.  She had the opportunity to work with many prominent interior designers and to be introduced to many of the latest cutting edge faux finishing techniques.  " I was hired as a muralist, but I was trained well with Mattingly.  I not only learned about an entirely different level of faux finishing products, but I had to learn how to paint a house correctly from the ground up."

Monica relocated to Los Angeles in 1996 and continues to provide her Southern California clients with the best in decorative painting.
