Introduction: As an artist, the most important thing to me is to bring a client’s vision to life. My clients range from large companies like Amazon, Google and Pepsi to small local business owners and homeowners. My goal is to create a masterpiece that involves a shared vision, collaboration, inspiration, and ultimately, a finished product that not only meets, but exceeds what the client desired in the first place. Each piece I create is site specific. I look at the surrounding areas and put myself into the viewers perspective. I want to add fun and color, show shadows, and highlights. Sometimes even making things look better then it would in reality. I love color! I enjoy adding that special splash to give the wall a “WOW” factor. For me it’s done with color. Showing it pop out and grab you. With every mural I paint a percentage goes to the Nonprofit Colors for Kids. We also give murals to children in our community that need art and the happiness and inspiration of color and murals.

My husband and I found Hayley/ Bay Area Muralist on Thumbtack. WOW…did we get lucky! Hayley and her assistant, Gustavo, are so incredibly talented. We started with a concept and Hayley brought our vision to life. We now have a beautiful mural and everyone who passes by stops to admire it. Hayley is respectful, responsible, and collaborative. It was a pleasure to work with Hayley. And we love our mural! Thank you!

I'm a general contractor and my client requested a blue sky with clouds ceiling mural over a indoor pool so I found Hayley and from the beginning she was awesome and easy to work with. We showed her what our client wanted and she and her team came in and did exactly what we asked them to do. Her work is outstanding and the result is incredible, our client is very very happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a talented and professional muralist to work with. Hayley your the best hands down !!!

I was very impressed with Hayley and her team of muralists. They were prompt, professional, and detailed. The mural was better than what I imagined.

Hayley Ferreira is a sensitive, elegant artist whose work respects her clients vision while demonstrating the full breadth of her experience, skill and knowledge. The murals she creates can make an ordinary house exceptional. My house in San Francisco has an upstairs bedroom that covers the entire top floor. It has cathedral walls and I wanted to decorate one with an ancient Roman fresco from the Pompeii area, the Primavera di Stabiae. I contacted Hayley Ferreira of Ferreira Designs through the Website Find-a-Muralist, after reviewing some of her work online. Hayley was wonderful! She came out to my home and looked over the space, which climbed to 12 feet at its peak, as well as at my printouts of the fresco image. She took pictures and measurements, and listened carefully to my description of how I envisioned the fresco would be transferred to the wall, allowing for the proper scaling, the necessity of extending the original across a much wider horizontal axis, and the adjustments around my closet doors and fixtures. She explained various materials and options for painting, and recommended a limestone paint that would capture the antique feel of the original fresco. We discussed costs and she was up-front and candid about what could be done with my budget. Hayley was also very accommodating on the timeframe. I had a lot of apprehension about the job, since Ive never had a mural painted before, but she made the process very easy. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with and completely professional. The actual painting took about 4-5 days, with Hayley and her assistant coming to my house while I was at work. The intrusion on my space was minimal and my cats were always calm when I got home. The result is fabulous! The finished fresco is dramatic, vivid and perfectly appropriate to the space and my house. I am so happy with my mural, which glows with color and transforms my bedroom into a unique private garden. Hayleys skill is such that she was able to capture the cracking and fading of the original fresco, which was something I especially wanted. I also asked Hayley to paint my dresser to echo the fresco. Its now a charming companion piece to the fresco, featuring antiqued garlands on the drawers. Working with Hayley was a terrific experience! I highly recommend her.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge approximately $20-40 per square foot. It all depends of the detail and size of the mural. Also if it's in a difficult location. This is why I give free consultations.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I give clients a free consultation where we go over everything that they want. I draw a sketch and once it is approved I can start painting. Along the way we can talk about the mural and make adjustments as we go.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always go with your instinct. There are so many artists out there, and so many scams. Go with an artist that has years of experience and happy clients. Not only that but someone you like and trust. I may be in your home or business painting alone. I want my clients to trust me. Also most important, like the artist. I am leaving a piece of myself for you to enjoy for a long time.
