2022, Black Lab Gallery Bar Mural, Everett Washington

- Inspired by the pandemic’s effects on small businesses, I painted a mural where leaves and vines are taking over the bar as if it was abandoned for a bit of time. I also painted exposed brick, inspired by Everett’s historic buildings.

The mural is in all white, it represents hope, beauty, and a white shadow of solidarity for all the folks who felt the impact of Covid-19.

2024, Riverview Road Cidery Commission, Snohomish, Washington

A set of 6 paintings painted on wood panels created to educate customers about how the hard cider is made from ‘Tree-to-Tap’. The collection is open to the public at Riverview Road Cidery.

experience working in the arts

Mahllie learned how to cut a specific type of glass tile, Mexican Smalti, for a bathroom mural. The team worked on the project, which included four walls (floor to ceiling), for 5 months and completed the project in time to ship the pieces to New York to be installed in Manhattan.
