I have nothing but good things to say about Lesley and her assistant Shea. They were able to tackle my in-home mural quickly and efficiently. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be a difficult task because a large part of it was to be done on top of a staircase where ladders could not easily reach, and where other muralists could only recommend expensive scaffolding. However they found a solution almost immediately that was not only inexpensive in comparison, but also safe and easy to install and remove in between work days. They also were able to find solutions to my paint problems, and were able to work peacefully so I could do my own work in my office downstairs. They brought positivity and lightness to the project, and were able to work around my pets as well. This is all on top of the obvious, which is that I love the way the mural came out. All in all, I could not recommend Lesley enough.

Lesley and her team was hired to paint our company wordmark and a mural on two walls of our shop. Despite a few setbacks out of their control, the work was done efficiently and quickly. The work came out beautifully. We will certainly be using Lesley again.

I reached out to Lesley for a small Project. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. She made alternative suggestions to fit our budget. Finally, I decided to make it a DIY project, but will surely work with her in the future.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work by project budget, estimating the number of hours and setting the price. Hourly rate ranges between $60 and $150/hour for gold gilding. I support independent businesses and am happy to consider discounts for independent business owners and entrepreneurs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the initial emailing/messaging, I like to discuss the project in person or on the phone/video, as this helps immeasurably in understanding the tone and vision of the project. I then present you with a few different pricing options, and once approach is determined, I would present you with an agreement that outlines the project expectations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have formal (Bachelor of Fine Arts) training in painting, drawing, and sculpture. I am also a published writer/illustrator.
