Frequently Asked Questions

Good art starts with good questions. Below are the ones Taylor gets asked most - about how the process works, what things cost, and what to expect from start to finish. Read through, then let's talk about your wall.

  • For outdoor murals, I use UV-resistant, weather-grade paints and exterior coatings selected for San Diego's coastal conditions - built to handle sun, humidity, and salt air. Indoor work uses high-quality latex acrylics and archival materials depending on the surface and finish. Every product is chosen for the specific conditions of the project, not off a standard list.

  • A well-executed mural can last 10-20 years or more. Outdoor murals in San Diego face sun and salt-air exposure, but with proper wall preparation and UV-protective sealing over time, they hold up indefinitely. Indoor murals are essentially permanent with minimal upkeep. Full aftercare guidance is included with every project.

  • Murals are low-maintenance by design. Indoor murals can be wiped down with distilled water and a micro fiber cloth. Outdoor murals benefit from occasional gentle cleaning to remove dirt or salt buildup. UV-protective coating can be reapplied every few years to extend the life on into time. Full aftercare instructions are included with every project.

  • Yes. Custom paintings on canvas for homes, businesses, wellness spaces, and personal commissions. Styles and sizes vary based on the project - everything made with archival-quality materials. Available for nationwide shipping.

  • Yes - original paintings, commissions, and fine art prints ship nationwide and internationally. Everything is packaged professionally for safe arrival and custom sizes are available. Local delivery and pickup are options within San Diego County.

  • The Toyota and Colorado Rockies VIP Clubhouse at Coors Field in Denver. Six murals and fourteen canvas paintings covering branding, fan engagement, and storytelling - including a main mural showcasing the team's 30-year history. The space is reserved for the top 50 seats in the ballpark, plus home team and visiting players and their families. Large-scale work for the big leagues, blending everything I do - portraits, sports, branding, narrative. That project took three months and showed me exactly the level I want to be working at.

  • Ask about their process, how they handle client feedback, what paint they use, and ask to see past work. You want to know the artist can execute at the scale you need and that the work will last. Also pay attention to how they communicate - a mural is a collaborative project and you want someone who listens before they paint.

  • Start with the intention. What is the most important element for you about this project? That question drives everything - the imagery, the message, the vibe, the colors, the composition, the scale. Some murals are subtle. Some are direct. There are reasons for each approach. The clearer you are on the purpose, the better the outcome. You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out - but knowing the intention is the right place to start.

  • 17. How do I request a quote?

    To get the conversation started, share:

    • A description of your idea

    • Photos of your wall or space

    • Approximate dimensions

    • Your location

    Reach me through the contact form, email, or social media. I typically respond within 24-48 hours.

  • I've been painting and drawing my whole life. In high school I started making custom artwork for friends and family. In college I started getting paid for it. My first mural was right after graduation - a local restaurant that loved it enough to hire me for all their locations. That was the moment I understood what murals could do to a space. I've been hooked ever since.

  • I hold a BFA in Painting from Colorado State University with a double concentration in Painting and Drawing, and a CA C33 Specialty Painter's Contractor's License. I also studied abroad in Italy during school, which deepened my understanding of classical styles, techniques, and composition. Beyond the formal training, I've been making murals full time since 2016 with hundreds of completed projects across commercial, residential, and public spaces. The combination of fine art training and hands-on contractor experience has helped to make large-scale work feel natural.

  • I work across three areas: large-scale murals for commercial, residential, and public spaces; live art for events and activations; and custom fine art paintings on canvas. For murals, that means concept development, digital mockups, wall preparation, painting, and protective sealing - everything from the first conversation to the final coat. Available throughout San Diego County, Southern California, the Bay Area, and nationwide.

  • Commercial clients include Toyota, Hilton, Twitter HQ, Sony PlayStation, Anheuser-Busch, The Colorado Rockies, and more. On the residential side I've worked with homeowners, interior designers, and families across San Diego County and the Bay Area, looking to make their spaces more intentional and beautiful. I also work with schools, wellness studios, public art programs, and community organizations throughout the region.

  • Pricing is based on a combination of square footage, wall texture, design complexity, location, and equipment needs like lifts or scaffolding. Every project gets a custom quote because no two walls are the same. San Diego mural pricing typically ranges from $25-$50 per square foot depending on detail level. I'd rather over-deliver on value than the reverse - reach out and we'll talk through what makes sense for your project.

  • Both. Indoor murals work well for homes, offices, restaurants, gyms, schools, and wellness spaces. Outdoor murals are painted with UV-resistant, weather-grade materials built for San Diego's coastal climate - sun, salt air, and all. The approach changes based on environment. The commitment to quality does not.

  • Here's how a project moves from idea to finished wall:

    • Consultation - Discuss the concept, goals, and budget.

    • Site Visit or Photos - Assess wall size, texture, and lighting.

    • Concept Design - Sketches or digital mockups for approval.

    • Preparation - Clean, prime, or patch the surface as needed.

    • Painting - Mural executed with professional-grade materials.

    • Final Review - Project isn't done until you love it.

    • Sealing - Protective topcoat applied for longevity.


    There's an art to the process as much as to the artwork itself.

  • Yes - every project includes digital mockups before painting begins. You'll see how the artwork looks on your specific wall, at scale, before anything goes on it. Colors, composition, and sizing can all be adjusted at this stage. Nothing moves forward until the design is approved.
