ABOUT

Snuffle is a Dog Café and Wine Bar that has built a real sense of community in the area, as well as championing independent artists. The downstairs space has little natural light, and hadn't yet captured the personality of the brand. Using careful placement and colour choices, I created a permanent mural to bring more of Snuffle to the space, and to make the room feel bigger and brighter.

Some elements were sketched in pencil on to the wall first, though most parts of the mural were painted freehand. I followed a rough layout from a sketchbook, but was also given the freedom to improvise and explore directly with the paintbrush. I used interior wall paints, and a mixture of small and large paintbrushes.

This area caters for dog daycare and grooming, plus workshops and yoga classes for children, so the artwork needed to show both the fun and the serenity that can be enjoyed at Snuffle. The paintings feature stretching café regulars and foliage inspired by local parks, to call to the core of the brand and celebrate the community feel.
