What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Research - Design - Prepare - Create
Murals: If site visit is requested, I will measure wall(s), look at texture of walls and take photos, discuss design and provide quote. If site visit is not requested I can provide a free quote with photo and measurements provided to me. Because I have a large team of artists that work with me on each project, we are able to complete murals within a very quick timeframe.
Example 10 x 10 = 100 sq. feet. x my rate = quote
Window Art: Free quote with photo and # of windows provided. Free digital rendering provided. We create art usually within a 4-6 hour time frame.
Custom Commissions: I will discuss your need/vision for custom art and based on size and detail will provide a quote and deadline for completed art.
