Mary Beth Ihnken
I am a professional muralist and decorative painter. I am recognized for my mural techniques, faux finishes, and trompe l'oiel. I bring a sense of scale and proportion to each project, as well as a keen eye for color. My work is designed with you, to fit the needs of your individual space, interests, and budget. The possibilities are endless.
