custom mural artist serving palm springs
hand-painted murals for modern desert spaces
custom murals in palm springs & surrounding desert cities
As a licensed California muralist (C-33 painting contractor) with a deep appreciation for Palm Springs’ design heritage and desert landscape, I create hand-painted murals that bring texture, color, and joy into the built environment. My work uses clean linework and layered textures to complement both mid-century architecture and contemporary spaces, adding a sense of refinement, playfulness, and story.
I approach each mural as an opportunity to create art that feels in tune with its setting - enhancing hotels, private residences, retail spaces, and public-facing developments throughout Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.

why hire a licensed muralist?
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.
