HOW IT WORKS

Collaborating with Jaya as she conceived, planned, and created our stunning wall mural at Wellspring Women’s Center has been such a joyful experience. Not only is she extraordinarily prepared, professional, and a mega-talented artist, she is just a whole lot of fun to work with! Our mural depicting the beauty, strength and love of Wellspring’s women and children has already become a source of pride and nurtures a feeling of belonging at our Center.

  • Assistant artist fees if the project requires a team

Mural costs vary based on the following factors:
 
  • Complexity of design (i.e. amount of detail, number of colors, style, size, etc.)
  • Level of involvement of project (i.e. increased admin time including meetings, site visits, community engagement, travel time, assistant artist fees etc.)

  • Timeline (i.e. short turnaround)
  • Quality of Materials used (i.e. spray paint, latex paint)
 
The design for the mural begins after receiving a deposit of 50%.  The digital design mock up is usually created through Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator. This deposit covers the cost of 1 round of revisions to the initial design. This deposit is non-refundable but will be credited towards the cost of the overall painting after a design is decided upon.  
 

MURAL PRICING: How much does it cost?

The average cost of my murals range from $35–$85/ sq. ft. of the area being painted, with a $1,500 minimum. Larger projects over 1500 sq. ft. are generally priced at around $30 - $35/sq. ft.
 
Once we’ve discussed the size and complexity of your design and project I can better determine the overall cost.  Specialty projects and community projects will be quoted based on unique project parameters.  I also understand that budget plays a large factor in moving forward with any project.  I am happy to explore options that will be mutually beneficial, always feel free to reach out to me!

MURAL FAQ's

Got a big project and you need the design to fundraise?
 
We can absolutely start with a completed design and revisit the physical mural project when funding is in place.  I'm happy to discuss pricing for a design only.  
 
Would you like to use the mural image for commercial purposes?
 
This can include creative use for digital, print, and merchandise.  If you anticipate using the mural for commercial purposes, branding, or advertising, I have licensing options at various price points that we can discuss before moving forward with the project.   
 
How long does a mural take?

DESIGN:  I've found the majority of time spent is during the design phase of the mural project.  A simple design with minor changes during the revision process can take a couple weeks.  In-depth designs that require more time in based on complexity, research required, community engagement, and amount of revisions needed can take months to complete.  

PAINTING:  Depending on the wall size, level of involvement, and design complexity the painting timeline can range from 1 week to 1 month or longer.  

How does scheduling work?

Your project is officially scheduled once the deposit has been paid.  If the the scope of work changes and the mural or design cannot be completed within the original timeline the project will be rescheduled.   

Already have a set budget and timeline? 

If you already have firm parameters we can explore options of how the project can move forward.  If the project budget and or timeline aren't a match don't be discouraged, I'm always happy to make a recommendation of another muralist that may better fit your scope of work.  No matter what, always feel free to reach out.

Uh oh...change your mind mid-project?   
 
It can happen and I definitely want you to be satisfied with the project outcome, it is also important to know what design changes can cost post-approval. Any design change post-approval or additional time in based on these changes or otherwise outside the original scope of work will be billed at a rate of $200/hour.  It is important to know that additional costs that will be added to the final invoice may include redesign and consultation time, time to re-purchase any new paint colors as well as the cost of the new paint, wall time repainting.  These costs will be in addition to the final 50% due upon completion of the mural.  The other options are to continue with the original scope of work with no changes or to cancel the project and I retain the 50% deposit. 
 
 
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out and I look forward to beginning our conversation.
