hand-painted commercial + residential murals
custom murals in manhattan beach
I create hand-painted murals for Manhattan Beach’s coastal, residential, and commercial spaces. With a California C-33 contractors license, I bring layered color, clean linework, and intentional design into homes, businesses, and public spaces throughout the area.
My murals are designed to complement Manhattan Beach’s modern coastal architecture and bring artful energy into interiors, exteriors, and high-visibility spaces.

does your mural artist need a license in manhattan beach?
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.
