Phoenix, Arizona , Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brigitte De Marco Art, an Arizona-based visual arts company, is announcing a strategic expansion into large-scale murals and live painting installations. This evolution reflects the growing impact of the company's community-centered brand, Prickle & Pine Designs, which continues to bring immersive art experiences to public and commercial spaces across the state.
Brigitte finds endless inspiration in the Arizona desert, transforming its beauty into vibrant, expressive portrayals of the landscape.

Known for her vibrant use of color, engaging movement, and expressive brush strokes, De Marco's art captures a unique beauty of the southwest with the perspective that even “ordinary” landscapes are enchanting. She aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for Arizona's diverse landscapes. Her recent projects include:
Monarch Hotel, Historic Scottsdale: A vivid mural portrayal of Arizona's natural beauty and unique botanicals, enhancing the hotel's ambiance.
Desert Thunder Elementary, Goodyear:An educational mural fostering creativity and learning among students.

In addition to her personal artistic endeavors, De Marco collaborates with small businesses across Arizona including local coffee shops, breweries, and boutiques. She also provides design expertise to entities such as Freaky Foot Tours, Arizona's premier ghost tour company, and Weird & Wild West, an eccentric southwestern meets sci fi merch brand. Brigitte also lent her artistic and education knowlege to helping build out a brand new Mural Tour in Flagstaff Arizona. These partnerships reflect her commitment to enriching the cultural tapestry of Arizona through art, as well as her passion for supporting small businesses.
Prickle & Pine Designs continues to thrive, offering engaging paint and sip events in collaboration with local establishments and showcasing handmade art at regional markets. This not only brings art into the community but also supports local businesses, fostering vibrant and creative spaces for people to learn and enjoy art.
“My passion lies not only in creating art that invites viewers to see the magic in the natural world, but also in sharing my perspective and artistic methods with people who are also captivated by color and the enchanting landscape of the southwest.”
