mural artist serving encinitas
custom hand-painted murals for commercial + residential
custom murals bringing encinitas spaces to life
I create hand-painted murals for Encinitas homes, wellness spaces, and public-facing environments. With a California C-33 contractors license, I bring layered linework and color into spaces that reflect the city’s creative, surf-forward, and laid-back energy.
My murals are designed to connect with the surrounding architecture and culture, whether installed in a coastal residence, boutique fitness studio, or along a high-visibility community wall.

why hire a licensed muralist in encinitas?
While SB 456 exempts some muralists from licensing, hiring a licensed painting contractor still offers clear advantages - especially for larger or more complex projects.
A license signals experience with job site coordination, safety standards, and regulatory compliance. It is also the only way for a muralist to carry proper insurance, including workers’ comp for assistants, which is still required by law.
Without a license, coverage is missing, creating potential risk for clients and property owners. Working with a licensed painter means coverage and compliance are fully in place, protecting everyone involved.
