Commissioning An Original Work...
What can you expect?

You will always be respected and never pressured.

When commissioning original works of art, every project is unique,
but I find they normally follow a similar pattern.

Make Contact

If you're exploring the possibilities of having a mural done,
please call or email me today and let's get started!
Be as specific as possible when describing your needs,
so that I can better prepare for our first discussion.

Free Consultation

There is no charge for an initial conference or estimate by phone or e-mail. I will also meet local (Georgia) clients on-site or at your designer's office for the free consultation. I offer both day and evening consults and will do my best to work around your schedule.

At the initial consultation, we will discuss your vision in detail, view the space to be painted, take measurements and pictures, and discuss sample specifications. I will supply you with a ballpark estimate based on my initial understanding of your vision. This is, of course, the best time to let me know if you have a certain budget or any time constraints that are of concern.

Research and Renderings

If you decide you want to proceed, it's time for R&R... research and renderings, that is! The creation of initial sketches and/or computer graphics and sample boards is the key to a successful mural. When completed, renderings are delivered to you along with a final bid. All preliminary artwork remains the property of the artist.

Pricing

Every project must be priced on an individual basis. The cost of a mural can range anywhere from $10 to $60 per square foot depending on factors such as size, complexity of design and work environment (high ceilings, surface texture, indoors, outdoors, etc.)

Scheduling

All work is done on a first come, first served basis. In some cases, rush projects can be accommodated but are subject to a premium charge.

Completion of the Work

My murals are original works of art, not manufactured products. The time it takes to complete a mural or hand-painted design depends on the complexity and size of the project and the detail in the work. For example, a smaller-scale mural can be painted over the course of a few days, while large and intricate mural projects may take several weeks to complete. Time estimates must be somewhat flexible, although I can work within reasonable time constraints. This 7' x 4' mural took three days to complete including the set up and removal of scaffolding and equipment.
