Our background in Fine Art and Graphic Design give our murals a unique character. This combined with our experience as a licensed CA painting contractor is what sets us apart.

We enjoy being creative on a daily basis and I truly embrace the entire process of creating a mural. Working with great people and communities gathering ideas, creating designs and of course bringing the artwork to life with paint. We are fortunate to be passionate about our work and we put our best into every project large or small.

I commissioned Matthew to do a mural in my office and words cannot describe how amazing it turned out. From the moment Matthew contacted me to the very end he was responsive and communicated every step of the way. In a heartbeat I would hire Matthew to do another mural. He did an amazing job and everyone loves it.
Details: Indoor wall(s) • Drywall • Commercial • As recommended by the artist • I have an idea of what I want

Matthew's work was phenomenal! I can't say enough amazing things about his work and final product. I know my wife and I will love this on our casita for ever. Matthew don't ever change a thing as this was perfect including when you created a custom mural for us when we wanted just a replica. We are so much happier having an original!
Details: Outdoor wall(s) • Stucco • Residential • Small (less than 25 sq ft) • I have sketches

Matthew has been a pleasure to work with. He painted a large mural in my office. He was quick, clean, never interrupted anyone working and was very polite. His work is outstanding and I couldn't be happier with the mural he painted. Every employee, client or guest who comes into the office compliments his beautifully designed artwork!

I hired Matthew to do murals at my school. He was always on time and willing to listen to what we wanted. Professional, cleaned up and produced quality work.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is done by the square foot, starting at $15/sqft. This price includes Design, Materials and Labor. Costs vary depending on the size of the wall and the amount of detail/colors in the design. There may be additional fees for travel, equipment rentals etc..
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process begins with a conversation on what type of work the customer is looking for, how large the wall is, etc.. From there I will provide the customer with a quote detailing the work to be done. Once the quote is approved then the designs are created (if necessary) and revised until they meet the vision of the customer. Once the design and contract is approved a start date is set and we can begin painting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I got my schooling from the Art Institute and earned my degree in graphic design, but I was always more interested in painting and working with my hands. So I worked at a fine art gallery and began painting and holding art shows in the greater San Diego area. After being asked to paint my first mural in 2009 I was hooked. I obtained my CA Contractors License and pursued my passion full time.
