At Cat Footwear, we are celebrating the holidays a little differently this season. In an effort to get back to the spirit of giving that surrounds the holidays, we’re encouraging our customers to have a B.I.Y. or Build-it-Yourself holiday- giving something meaningful with a personal touch. It’s better to build, than to receive.

Louise Chen, or known by her muralist name of Ouizi, resides in Detroit, MI since relocating from Los Angeles, and has taken the city’s art scene by storm. Creating large-scale street art in literally every corner of the world, she has from one perspective, built up cities around her with her artwork. Creating a mural, often while suspended on a forklift, she makes a living painting large-scale floral murals.

“My favorite part is seeing things materialize. I also am quite fond of the moment when an idea feels just right and is ready to become a work of art,” Ouizi says.

If you have ever wanted to try a large-scale paint job yourself, Ouizi has helped to lay out step-by-step instructions on how to enlarge a design. Maybe you’ve always wanted to add something extra to that empty wall in your home, or maybe you’re an aspiring artist with a blank wall somewhere… Whatever your inspiration, get the guide for all your creative ideas, below.
