FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each project is unique, so there is no "one size fits all" pricing when it comes to murals. Some things that I take into consideration when pricing a project include the following: Is it interior or exterior? What is the surface material that I will be painting on? Is it smooth and well primed, or is it textured and porous? Is the area to be painted easily accessible or will there be obstacles to work around? What is the height of the mural? Will a lift be required? What is the complexity of the desired design? How much detail is involved? What is the size of the desired mural? Custom mural prices typically start in the $1,600 range A pre-designed logo painted on your wall will start at $900. Price is determined by the complexity of the design of the logo, how many colors, how much lettering is involved, the size and surface I am painting on, etc.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You reach out to me with your ideas, and information about the surface and area I will be painting. I will ask you for photos of the area where I will be painting, as well as a close up of the wall so I can see the texture of the surface. Most consultations can be done over the phone or via FaceTime or Zoom. I will also ask you for inspiration photos that will give me a sense of the style you are looking to achieve. I will never copy someone else's artwork, but seeing examples of work that is appealing to you will help me to understand your vision. I will also ask you about your budget. This is an important consideration because it will allow me to determine the amount of detail that can be put into your design. You may have a vision for your design that doesn't quite fit your budget. That's ok! I can typically work with my clients to create a design that not only brings their vision to life, but also fits their bottom line. I do require a design fee paid upfront prior to the start of any design work. This paid design fee will also serve as your initial deposit to get your project on my calendar. A second deposit of 50% is due at least 2 weeks prior to the start of on-site work. Final payment is due immediately upon completion of the work.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I come from a long line of artists in my family and I was gifted with artistic talent from a very young age. I have been drawing and painting since I could hold a pencil. Although I do not have any formal technical training, a lifetime of experience and practice has allowed me to develop into the successful artist that I am today.
