The Artist

Hello, I’m Shelly Metzger, a muralist who loves transforming your ideas into meaningful and useful works of art. With over 10 years of painting experience and 2 years specializing in murals, I’ve collaborated with private clients, businesses, healthcare facilities, public spaces, and non-profits. My process is highly collaborative—I work closely with clients to understand their vision, provide mock-ups, and create designs that feel just right. I craft bold, vibrant murals that bring spaces to life, blending natural, whimsical, and retro elements. My goal is to inspire and create authentic, welcoming atmospheres that resonate with onlookers.

Although based in Washington State, I’ve had the joy of living across the U.S. and am thrilled to travel for the right projects.

Murals

Murals are more than paint on walls—they are powerful solutions.

A mural can make your space stand out, set the atmosphere, and connect with your audience. Whether enhancing your brand identity, attracting customers, or transforming a dull space into something vibrant, a mural creatively solves visual and experiential challenges. It’s not just decoration—it’s storytelling, marketing, and an experience all in one.

From businesses to public spaces to homes, I create artwork that adds beauty, personality, and leaves a lasting impression. If you’re looking for a mural that transforms your space while staying true to its unique character, I’d love to help.

Bucket List Projects

While I’m excited to create unique, transformative art for businesses, communities, and individuals, there are certain dream collaborations and personal projects I hope to bring to life in the future. Whether it’s painting large-scale public murals, partnering with visionary companies, or exploring my own creative passions, I’m always looking forward to new, inspiring opportunities! You can see my list of Bucket List Projects here.

She took our concept from scratch and welcomed our input to get the design just the way we wanted it. Her enthusiasm and flexibility made working with her fun.”
