Muralist Miss Teal • Murals + Set Design recently came to Dream Inn to paint the wall in Room 429, a new take on the Steamer Lane mural.

Erika, also known as Miss Teal, is a West Coast muralist known for big, freehand paintings and street art. Her work brings a bold, hand-painted feel to the room, and it’s a nod to one of Santa Cruz’s most recognizable surf spots.
