FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Your quoted price includes more than just a mural- your quoted price includes for design time, consultation and materials. No weird hourly charges, your quoted price is ALL INCLUSIVE! I am currently offering murals starting at $15/square foot (no more than $20/sq ft), with discounts for larger pieces over 120 sq ft. Pricing is dependent on a number of factors, most importantly the amount of detail in your design. Wall texture and placement also factor in as they can make the work more challenging and slower to complete. If you have a budget in mind, we can discuss what is possible for your space. Now is a great time to book a garage mural- standard sized garage doors star at $750 (all materials and design time included). If you want a mural for your school or non-profit, or would like me to facilitate a youth-led mural for your space, these are also possibilities- I provide discounts for schools and NPOs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Consultation is free! Let's find a time to talk on the phone, in person or virtually. When you message me on Thumbtack, send me some photos of the space where you'd like the mural. Dimensions are important, as is information about the condition and texture of the wall. If you have an idea of what you're looking for, attach some inspiration photos too! I can provide you an estimate via message (typically a price range). If you book a consult with me, we will in-depth so I can see the wall(s) where you desire a mural and learn more about what you are looking for. We will talk about your ideas for the space, and I will provide you with a firm quote reflecting your desire for the space. If you decide to work with me, you will pay a deposit (25% of the project cost). Upon deposit receipt, we will engage in more design consultation. I will share sketches (typically 2) and ideas with you to ensure you are happy with the plan for your custom mural. The deposit pays for this design time and any paint and materials that need to be purchased for your project. If you lead a school or youth organization, talk to me about facilitating mural creation for your youth. I am also happy to work with your child to design and execute a mural for their room. This is an empowering process for young people to participate in and can make your space truly unique and reflective of your school or organization. Discounts provided for murals for non profits organizations or schools.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an BA from Brown University with concentrations in Education (secondary education grades 6-12- History and Art subjects) and History of Art and Architecture. Brown's unique partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) enabled me to take painting and drawing classes at RISD throughout my undergraduate education to deepen my technical artistic skills. My Masters in Art Therapy is from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In addition to the therapist training I received there, I had to maintain an independent art practice and fulfill art course requirements at the art school.
