FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MURALISTICK: FINE ART
FANTASIES THAT STICK
PHILADELPHIA (Aug. 12, 2011) -- Children's
bedrooms are more than just a place to sleep. Increasingly, they're
fantasy worlds - popularized through shows such as "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition." Muralistick, original art
stickers, turns an ordinary bedroom into an extraordinary dream
room.
Frustrated with the messy labor of painting a mural on her
nursery wall, Philadelphia-area artist Heather
Clayton, a former Calvin Klein design executive, created a
whimsical alternative. "My vision was to design a product that
allows people the ability to create their own hand-painted mural at
a fraction of the cost of hiring and managing an artist." says
Heather, who will launch Muralistick's wholesale
business at the ABC Kids Expo from
September 23-26 in the Kentucky Exposition
Center with a must-see mural extravaganza. "The entire
room to comes to life and people feel as if they have walked into a
storybook."
Moms will be happy to know this extreme makeover is finished in
minutes with no mess to clean up. Just peel and stick. Imagine
adorable fairies, six-foot tall giraffes or splashing whales
printed on fabric-like material that mimics traditional
hand-painted murals so well, few can tell the difference.
Muralistick, priced to fit any budget, is an
affordable way to rejuvenate a corner or all four walls of a room
with original art. Coated with a special self adhesive, the
stickers stay firmly in place, yet are easy to remove. Our fine
artists create hundreds of whimsical images in a variety of styles
and themes using oils, acrylics or watercolors. The digitally
reproduced paintings preserve every brushstroke and freckle-face
elf.
Says one customer: "The colors are just so gorgeous and
lifelike. You're stepping into the child's fantasy. With
Muralistick, you're transforming the room."

About Heather Clayton: A graduate of the
University of Delaware with an interdisciplinary degree in fine
art, computer-aided design (CAD) and business, Heather created
Muralistick out of a first-time mom's frustration
over decorating the perfect nursery. The mother of three built her
business while her children napped. In fact, the majority of
artists she commissions are mothers, and like her, constantly
thinking about the bus stop as they balance work and family.
Heather's goal is to make beautiful art affordable and accessible
to everyone. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband
and chief marketing adviser, Chris.
