Mural Painting in your Home or Business. . . . . .
I generally will travel throughout the surrounding regions of Carroll, Howard, Frederick, and Baltimore Counties, Maryland, to paint whatever you wish on your walls, doors or windows.
E-mail me to talk about your ideas. I can paint just about anything, but an early conversation will help set us both thinking along the same lines. Painting animals and plants are my forte. I’m not a scaffold hauling artist, so no cathedral ceilings, please.
In general, I charge approximately $50.00 per hour plus supplies. I calculate the estimated time in advance and usually keep within that range. I work fast, too.
I paint free-hand (without stencils), and my work has an organic, lively look. I can recreate storybook characters and scenes for a child’s room, or create an imaginary environment.
A preliminary visit to your home will allow us to share ideas and give me an opportunity to visualize the work I can do for you. I charge $75 (plus 50 cents/mile for travel beyond 20 miles of my home) for a home visit, which is redeemable when you commission me to do the work. Often, on the spot, I will draw up sketches of what I envision. If you are thrilled with the ideas, and give me the "go ahead," I request 50% payment in advance and the remainder upon completion and your satisfaction with my work. In preparation, I research the subject to be painted and come up with detailed images. I often come to your house with live plant material (such as grape vines) to guarantee a realistic rendition of your subjects. I love getting ideas from your children to see what they envision on their walls, so they can be part of the process!
If you want me to paint something I’m not feeling confident about, I’ll tell you up front and refer other artists I know.
