custom mural artist in malibu
As a licensed California muralist (C-33 painting contractor) with a strong connection to the Southern California creative community, I create hand-painted murals that bring a sense of warmth, sophistication, and place to Malibu’s distinct environments. My work merges expressive linework with carefully curated palettes to enhance architecture and activate spaces in a way that feels intentional and timeless.
From oceanfront residences to boutique hotels, wellness spaces, and community projects, I approach each mural as an opportunity to tell a story that resonates with the people and the landscape of Malibu.

why hire a licensed muralist in malibu?
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.
