Asia Michaela Peters and her cousin Raven Wilks create a mural on Haskell Street.
Rockton resident Asia Michaela Peters is looking to beautify interiors and exteriors through detailed, high quality, custom murals through large scale artistry, while incorporating even more options into her scope of work.
Peters is a 2014 graduate of Hononegah Community High School (HCHS). “I took as many art electives as I could while at HCHS. I then went on to the University of Colorado Boulder to study Environmental Design which introduced me to architecture, interior design, and landscape design,” Peters said.
While in college Peters studied art and design in Copenhagen, Denmark. “Since college I have pursued environmental design, graphic design, marketing and most recently public art opportunities,” Peters adds.
“I have been interested in art for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents are very creative and introduced me to painting very early on,” Peters said.
Most of Peter’s work is concentrated in Rockford. During the summer months she has created exterior murals in downtown Rockford including one at Davis Park, another in Artist Alley – near the Rockford Convention and Visitors Bureau, (RACVB), one in the Norwegian Lofts building, and at Fisher Community Pollinator Garden which Peters is designing and implementing at 804 Haskell Ave.
Peters also crafted a mini mural for Smash Art Studio in downtown Rockford. In that project she implemented the technique of the “Broken window” effect.
She has completed eight interior and six exterior murals to date.
Peters shares, “I have landed on mural painting because I’m transforming entire spaces into artistic, sensual experiences. I find myself repainting and redecorating my own living space almost constantly, for the joy of making myself and people who visit me more comfortable and entertained.”
Peters is ready to give someone else the same experience.
Peters paints with the highest quality interior or exterior paint. “I often mix my own colors and apply my designs with a paintbrush, and a steady hand.”
She is also available for full interior redesign projects – also working with furniture, houseplants, renovation and decoration.
“I am obsessed with color, pattern, lighting and plants,”
Extending beyond Peters’ talents her brothers are carpenters, the “Bros Who Know, LLC. Handyman Service.”
Together, this family unit can execute just about any home project imaginable covering both interior or exterior needs.
Peters website is www.terrainvague.space. The website contains a portfolio that touches on Peter’s work and unique designs and extra contact information. Her business Facebook and Instagram pages can be found by going to @terrainvague.rfkd.

In addition to visual art talent Peters loves to sing. “I started performing in 2022, and I am currently embarking on my first album,” she said.
