FAQ

Every mural I create is fully custom, designed specifically for your space.
✦ I work in a wide variety of styles to suit your needs.

Some elements I enjoy incorporating when they suit the project include:
✦ Animals and plants
✦ Bright, vibrant colors
✦ A mix of realistic elements with bold, contemporary shapes

I can:
✦ Incorporate your logo or existing branding
✦ Create a custom mural inspired by other artwork while making it original and unique for your space.

I cannot:
✦ Copy another artist’s work unless you own the rights, or we have express written permission from the artist to do so.

Even then, I have found it is always better to create a custom design just for you and your space, so you know your artwork is one-of-a-kind.

I create digital mockups so you can see how the mural will look on your wall. Then, based on your feed back, we’ll refine the design together until it feels just right, so you can move forward with confidence before painting begins.

Every mural project is unique.

With a little information about your project, I can provide:
✦ A free estimate range
✦And exact quotes during the design phase

Mural investments are based on square footage and may vary depending on:
✦ Surface texture ✦ Wall accessibility ✦ Level of detail ✦ Size

Murals on smooth, easily accessible walls with minimal detail tend to require a smaller investment, while those on textured surfaces, with limited access and a higher level of detail, require a larger one.

I can typically adapt a mural design to fit most budgets.

The minimum investment is $2,000. Taxes, along with any necessary lift rentals, permits, or travel outside the local area, may be additional.

I just need a few basics:

✦ The approximate size of your wall
✦ A photo of the wall (including the ground in front)
✦ Any ideas or inspiration you have for the mural
✦ A quick 5–10 minute phone call (or whenever possible, I like to visit the wall in person. It helps me gather a bit more context and provide the most accurate estimate range for your project.)

My approach is collaborative, and designed to bring your vision to life with ease and clarity. Here’s how a typical mural project unfolds:

1. Connect & Define Goals – We discuss your wall, vision, and budget, and I provide a free estimate range.

2. Design Phase – To move forward, the design fee is collected (credited toward your total mural investment). I then create 2 custom digital mockups, giving you a clear picture of how your mural will look in your space. Together, we refine the concept until it feels just right. Each design comes with an exact quote.

3. Approval & Scheduling – Once the design is finalized, we confirm the contract and deposit, then schedule your installation date.

4. Installation & Completion – I bring the mural to life, and the final invoice is sent upon completion.

The process is flexible for clients or organizations with unique approval workflows, but most projects fit seamlessly into this approach.

Timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project, but most murals are completed within a few days to a couple of weeks once painting begins.

We will discus your project timeline prior to scheduling painting.

✦ Outdoor murals are painted with high-quality, exterior-rated materials, and many modern exterior paints are rated for 10+ years. I seal all exterior murals with an anti-graffiti and UV coating, providing even greater protection against the elements and daily wear.

✦ Indoor murals are painted with high-quality, interior-rated materials that are durable with minimal care, and are often reported to outlast exterior murals.

Why does that matter?
As a mural artist, my work sits at the intersection of fine art and contracting.

While we may see a mural as a beautiful piece of artwork, some cities (depending on local ordinances) classify exterior murals as signage. Larger projects may also require working on scaffolding or lifts. Because of this, I maintain an active contractor’s license to stay fully compliant with regulations.

I also carry insurance for added peace of mind. While I’ve never needed to use it, it ensures that you, your property, and I are all protected throughout the project.

Bonus: How high are you able to paint?
My insurance covers projects up to 7 stories high. That said, I most enjoy working at 30 feet and below.
