Purcellville artist Alana McFall will be featured on HGTV's Mission: Organization on September 6th at 9:30pm, repeated on September 10th at 2:30pm.

In this episode, professional organizer Amy Rehkemper transforms a seemingly unusable basement area into a lively multipurpose family room, made magical by Alana's mural.

Alana adds her creative touch to the children's play area. The basement ceiling becomes a cloud-covered sky, laced by the branches of a friendly tree that smiles down in invitation over the children's reading area at its base. A magic beanstalk climbing up to a castle in the clouds is designed especially for Jack, the little boy lucky enough to live in the transformed home. Alana's mural helps to turn an ordinary space into an extraordinary one.

A longtime Baltimore City public school special educator, Alana recently relocated to Purcellville with her husband to be closer to his work. Alana, who also has a post-baccalaureate degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, used this change of locale as catalyst for a life and career reinvention. With much support and encouragement from her husband, she has successfully started her own mural painting business, called Amazing Spaces. Her new business allows her to combine her love for children and education with her love of art.

Amazing Spaces specializes in creating imagination-stimulating environments. Alana is quick to point out, however, that children are not the only ones with imaginations that need stimulating. "Murals can be wonderful addition to all sorts of spaces," she says. "Bedrooms, kitchens even bathrooms!"
