Deb Designs

I typically start around $1,000. Beyond that my pricing is not straightforward, sorry! I have to consider SO many factors like the size of the wall, the texture of the wall, how difficult is it to reach the wall (are there bushes in front?), how tall of a ladder I need, how long the design will take to paint, how many colors are needed, and MORE to know what to charge. That’s why good photos of the wall and surrounding area, OR an in person visit are so important.

I like to meet in person where the mural will be so I can get an idea of the surrounding environment and talk face to face about what vision my customer has and what they want the mural to accomplish. Then I collect the design fee and get started designing. As long as there is no rush I take about 3 weeks to create an initial design. Then I meet either over Zoom or in person to get feedback and talk about adjustments the customer would like to see. Once a final design is agreed upon we set a date to start the actual painting and I collect half of the remaining payment. There are many factors that go into how long the painting part actually takes, but I do my best to accommodate the customer’s needs. When the painting is complete I make sure the customer is happy and I collect the remaining balance.

I took many art and art related classes in college, but as you know, school never fully prepares you for real life. The real learning has been through mentorship and years of practice! I have “go to” places to learn whatever I need to know about working with new materials and surfaces.

I actually learned to paint becoming a professional face painter. From there I started painting windows after learning about it online and eventually moved towards walls and more permanent art (most of the window art was seasonal and temporary)

I have done a little bit of everything, from nursery murals, to farm silos, to small businesses, to medical settings.

I recently painted for an in home daycare. The design was a fun combination of their logo plus something fun for the kids that brightened up the room.

Definitely think about what your budget is. There are lots of creative ways for me to design according to your budget! The next important thing is what you want the mural to accomplish. Who is it for? What’s the goal? What mood do you want the mural to set?
