"I loved how Heartspace Art brought my vision to life through their mural design. They were flexible with my timeline and Danielle worked closely with me to make sure everything stayed within my budget, without compromising on the quality or creativity of the design. The mural has added a beautiful creative dimension to my DIY Arts and Crafts Studio and has quickly become one of the favorite spots for pictures. Truly professional and easy to work with!"

Valerie Aviles

"Great communication and incredibly talented and efficient team. Danielle was a pleasure to work with. 10/10 experience."

Larry Riley

"The mural speaks for itself. It turned out incredible and it’s big: 9 feet tall by 36 feet long. They took my ideas and turned it into my dream mural! It’s hard to get a great picture of the whole thing because of how long it is, but you can get the idea.

😊☝🏻"

"Heartspace Art did a fabulous job. Danielle came to my home, assessed the space & my vision. She sent me beautiful designs that captured my vision. She’s wonderfully artistic!

Ian lead the team doing the mural. They were very personable & professional. When they had finished they asked how I liked it & if there was anything I would like them to add or modify.

I couldn’t have made a better choice. Please see the pictures attached."

"I can not say enough wonderful things about the amazing mural Danielle and Ian painted in my special needs son room. My son has been through a lot in his life and I wanted a space for him that was warm, welcoming, calming and was all about him. I wanted him to recognize what was being painted on the wall as his favorite things. They were so easy to work with and created beautiful art on the walls, exactly what I wanted and imagined for him. Going in his room now makes me happy and makes him happy too!"

- Kassandra Kristoff.

"Loved working with Heartspace Art. They are truly passionate about their craft and completely deliver. I worked with them on a floral mural for a commercial event space and they were able to complete it on a short deadline, while also making artistic recommendations that would work with the space. I am looking forward to working with them again."

Imagine the possibilities with Art!

What Is an Environmental Art & Placemaking Studio?

By Lily Pittman • October 1, 2026
What is Environmental Art? In the context of the built environment, environmental art is artwork created or selected in response to the space around it. When it comes to environmental art, architecture matters, as well as the materials, lighting, scale, sightlines, circulation, brand, neighborhood, and people who will experience the space. Rather than selecting an artwork in isolation and finding somewhere to hang it, an environmental art studio can consider how art interacts with the environment as a whole. The result might take many forms, such as:

The Case for Designing Spaces People Want to Stay In

By Lily Pittman • September 25, 2026
How Long Do They Linger? Exploring Dwell time in curated spaces.  Advertising has trained us to think in impressions. How many people saw it, how many seconds they looked at it, how many times you need to repeat it. It's a model built around exposure, and exposure is treated as the goal. But exposure isn't the same as connection. You can see something a hundred times and feel nothing about it. Spaces work differently. A lobby, a waiting room, a retail floor, or an office aren't things people glance at and move past, they're areas people spend time in, and ideally, will want to return to.

Why Art May Be a Better Investment Than an Ad

By Lily Pittman • September 2, 2026
Is A Mural the Answer? Every business eventually asks the same question: where should the next marketing dollar go? Most of the time the answer defaults to ads. It's a familiar path, with most businesses spending between 5% to 20% of revenue on marketing. But there's another option that a lot of organizations overlook, and it tends to outperform the familiar path in many ways. That option is art.

The Ronald McDonald House's "Adventure Alley"

By Danielle Cleary • June 3, 2026
For parents and families navigating medical crises, a sense of comfort and optimism is often hard to find amidst sterile corridors and high-stress decisions. The physical spaces surrounding them can make an important difference in this, serving as a relief to them and everything they're going through, and providing room for creativity and joy. When the Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville renovated and built "Adventure Alley," a 2,200 ft family-oriented play area and hangout space, the design objective went beyond structural square footage. The challenge was to integrate evidence-based spatial design into the architecture of the Teen Room and Kid Zone areas to create optimistic, creative, and connective spaces for young people to spend time. Children and siblings facing profound challenges deserve joyful walls and fun hangout spots just as much as any other child, so our goal was to make that possible.

Enhancing Clinical Environments with Community-Focused Art at the Florida Department of Health

By Lily Pittman • May 29, 2026
Healthcare is first and foremost about ensuring the well-being of all people and communities. Because this well-being is heavily influenced by the physical environments we inhabit daily, art in these spaces must serve a deeper purpose. Art is not just decoration—it is a bridge, helping connect people and place. When the Florida Department of Health sought to humanize its clinical environment, our team designed and executed eight custom walls across their facility. These pieces serve as intentional visual anchors that lower cognitive stress, ground the space in local identity, and promote long-term community positivity. When working in the healthcare sphere, we create site-specific, hand-painted art that improves the patient and visitor experience by transforming sterile clinical environments into warm, welcoming spaces. This can simultaneously lower anxiety and build community trust. Through this process, art becomes a strategic asset that promotes psychological comfort and reinforces an institution’s commitment to inclusive care.

The Winn-Dixie Community Center

By Hannah Bowe • May 26, 2026
Transforming Winn-Dixie's Space into the First-of-Its-Kind Community Room Winn-Dixie needed their first-of-its-kind community room to follow corporate brand guidelines while feeling genuinely welcoming to the neighborhood. Our Goal was to transform the space into a vibrant community hub. Over the course of a month, Heartspace Art worked as a spatial design partner to balance corporate identity with neighborhood warmth. Our team then completed the physical on-site installation in just four days, delivering a high-impact experience ready for the store's grand opening.
