Custom art designed for you
Your exam room should reflect your personality, interests, and the atmosphere you want your patients to experience. During our consultation, we'll meet in the room and collaborate on a mural that is uniquely yours. After all, you spend more time in that space than anyone else. It should be a place that inspires you as much as it comforts your patients.
Together, we'll create artwork that feels authentic to you while welcoming children, teens, and parents alike.
Why you need murals?
Patients of all ages often arrive at appointments with white-coat anxiety. This is especially true for children, as their early years are punctuated with checkups that end with shots. Thoughtful, engaging art helps mitigate that discomfort with soothing colors and images designed to keep them engaged and distracted.
What makes me different?
Appeal across all ages
Many pediatric rooms unintentionally feel geared only toward very young children. I design murals that aim at broad appeal for toddlers, teens, and parents alike. You should not lose teenage patients because they feel too old sitting in a room of cartoonish unicorns or dump trucks.
Minimal disruption
I schedule most work on weekends and one weekday, keeping interruptions to office operations as low as possible. I also clean rooms thoroughly after every session so rooms remain usable when I am not working. At this pace, it typically takes three to four weeks to finish a room, depending on the detail and size.
About Jeph
I am a writer of twenty-five years whose lifelong love of words led me, in 2005, to take up painting as a creative break from words. After earning an MFA in Creative Writing from San Diego State University in 2013, what began as after‑work exercises to decorate my apartment quickly became an obsession. Between 2014 and 2019 I averaged a painting a week, refining a narrative-driven portrait style that has earned awards, a feature on BBC America, and inclusion in several books, including an official BBC collection celebrating Doctor Who fan art.
In 2025 I brought storytelling to a larger scale, painting murals for Wasatch Pediatrics in Murray, Utah. I transform exam rooms into imaginative, calming spaces that help children and families feel curious and at ease.
I live in Salt Lake City with my wife and three children. Much of my inspiration comes from seeing the world through their eyes.
