GALAXY MOUNTAINS INTERIOR

An interior mural above a living room couch featuring mountain silhouettes reaching up into a galaxy-filled sky. The piece creates a seamless transition from earthbound peaks to cosmic infinity, as if the mountains were doorways to the universe beyond.

Artist's Note

Colorado's mountains already look like they're touching space. This mural just takes that feeling literally — the ridgeline dissolves into stars and nebulae, making the living room wall feel like a window to somewhere vast and quiet.

— Rachel Dinda

Inspiration

That moment when you're high in the Rockies and the Milky Way stretches overhead — that's what this piece captures. The mountains anchor you to earth while the galaxy pulls your eyes upward.

The Process

Working above furniture required careful planning and protection of the living space. I painted the mountain range first as dark silhouettes, then built the galaxy upward with layered washes of blue, purple, and white. The stars were dotted in with fine brushes and flicked from a loaded brush for the scattered cluster effect.

Community Impact

The homeowner says every guest comments on it. It's become the centerpiece of their living room — people sit on the couch and just stare upward, which is exactly the response I was hoping for.
