custom murals in pasadena
I create hand-painted murals for Pasadena’s commercial, hospitality, and public spaces. With a California C-33 contractors license, I bring a blend of clean linework, layered color, and story-driven design into buildings and public areas across the city.
My murals are designed to complement Pasadena’s architectural character, adding depth and a contemporary layer to historic, civic, and creative spaces.

why work with a licensed painting contractor?
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.
