This monochrome tree mural was created in 2017 for a private residence in Golden, Colorado, located in the entryway hall above a staircase in the living space. Designed as a subtle yet impactful architectural feature, the mural transforms the vertical wall into a calm, sculptural focal point that welcomes visitors into the home. Executed entirely in a monochromatic palette, the mural features a stylized tree with branching limbs and layered leaves. Rather than relying on color, the design uses tonal variation, shading, and texture to imitate the appearance of a carved relief. This approach enables the artwork to feel seamlessly integrated into the architecture, as if it were an inherent part of the building itself rather than a painted surface applied afterward.
