Mythmaking
Placemaking
Turning buildings into legends and communities into stories worth belonging to.
I help developers, councils, property teams and placemakers create meaning, not just murals. By reinterpreting ancient and local myths and legends for a contemporary audience, I transform blank walls and public spaces into shared symbols, stories that anchor identity, pride and connection.
Accepting New Project Opportunities
Every place has a story.
I’ll help you tell it.
When a new development rises or a neighbourhood gets reborn, something vital can slip through the cracks, its sense of story.
Without it, even the most ambitious regeneration can feel disconnected, temporary, or rootless.
Whether you’re a developer shaping a new community, a council or BID driving regeneration, or a property or placemaking team building connection through design, Mythmaking can transform your site into a story people want to belong to.
My murals and site-specific artworks transform spaces by:
Revitalising overlooked areas: turning empty walls into landmarks of pride and belonging.
Creating distinctive developments: giving buildings a narrative identity that sets them apart.
Attracting engagement and visibility: drawing people in through story, art, and meaning.
Your project becomes more than a space — it becomes a living story, rooted in community and imagination.
Who I Work With
The people shaping the future of place.
I collaborate with people who understand that bricks are only the start of the story
Developers and property managers building new communities
Councils and BIDs creating civic pride through regeneration
Placemakers and urban designers seeking identity and story
Co-living / co-working brands cultivating shared culture and meaning
These clients share one goal: to create buildings that connect people, places that feel alive, grounded, and worth remembering.
Why Stories Matter in Placemaking
When a place tells a story, people stay.
They take ownership, they protect it, they share it.
Through Mythmaking, you gain:
Cultural value: public art rooted in heritage and imagination
Emotional connection: spaces that people identify with
Distinctiveness: memorable landmarks that draw visitors and tenants
Social impact: fostering belonging, reducing antisocial behaviour
Legacy: artwork that becomes part of the town’s narrative
Your development doesn’t just change a skyline, it shapes a shared identity.
The Mythmaking Journey
1. Book a Call
Tell me about your project, what you’re creating, and how you want people to feel in that space.
2. Story Gathering
We dig into the local fabric, stories, histories, architecture, and community voices that define your site.
3. Creation
The myth comes to life through large-scale painting and public installation, transforming the building into a landmark.
4. Legacy
Your mural becomes part of the place’s identity, shaping how people connect with it for years to come.
Purpose-Driven, Not Just Decorative: Every artwork begins with meaning. My process ensures your mural strengthens your project’s story, values, and sense of place, so it feels integrated, not added on.
Collaborative from the Ground Up: Your stakeholders, community, and vision are part of the process. Through workshops, consultation, and open communication, we create work people feel genuine ownership of.
Strategic and Measurable Impact: Each mural is designed with clear objectives — from boosting footfall and visibility to strengthening community pride and local identity. Art becomes a tool for connection and regeneration.
Crafted to Endure: Using professional-grade materials and specialist coatings, every mural is built to stand the test of time, vibrant, weather-resistant, and protected against vandalism.
A Legacy of Story: Beyond beauty, your mural becomes part of the narrative fabric of place, a landmark that inspires pride, participation, and belonging for years to come.
Our Art with Heart Guarantee
When story meets space,
transformation follows.
When art is rooted in myth and meaning, places change: not just visually, but emotionally and economically.
A regeneration project sees a disused civic space reborn as a cultural destination, drawing visitors and revitalising the surrounding area.
A residential block comes alive with identity, echoing the textile heritage and stories of its community.
A BID district opens new routes to the seaside as a once dark and dingy public stairway now pulses with light, colour, and stories.
A council-led mural that became the centrepiece of a town’s renewal, celebrating the Goddess of the River Barrow.
A festival commission that transformed a forgotten street, sparking renewed trade and energy in its shopfronts.
“The Wycombe Swan
What a treat it has been to see high quality public art in the town. Shauna has been patient, helpful and professional from start to finish and has worked within our tight parameters to produce a piece of artwork we’re delighted with. This lays the foundation for other enhancements in this location and sets the tone for what can be achieved across the county. To come in ahead of time and within budget was well received by stakeholders. An entirely positive experience -
I can’t commend Shauna enough!

I really enjoyed working with Shauna, we chose her based not just on her skills but also on her values, which aligned with ours. This was very important as it was a project with the community benefits at its core. She demonstrated professionalism during all the phases and our work was very collaborative, with both of us helping each other. The final result was great and translated well our objectives. I'd recommend Shauna for mural projects.

We hired Shauna to do a mural in a very large (7.5m high) communal space in our school. We gave her a rough brief of what we were hoping to achieve with the mural, and with very little direction from us she seemed to know exactly where to take it. The design Shauna came up with was inclusive, innovative, powerful, everything we were hoping to portray through the artwork. Shauna was a joy to work with, so accommodating throughout the whole process. We would have no hesitation in recommending her and would be delighted to have her back for future projects.
