About Our mural Painting Services

As a muralist, I love painting large works of fine art painted directly onto a wall or ceiling, or painted on canvas and adhered to the surface (marouflage). Murals can transform a room by creating the illusion of space through a landscape, adding a bold graphic backdrop to a modern space, or soothe the eye with a tranquil design. I can create nursery murals, murals for offices and businesses, hotel murals, liturgical murals, or and more. We can do both abstract murals and murals based on photographs or your own custom ideas - whatever project you are dreaming up, we can help it come to life!
