“Allison created a mural for the rooftop of one of my company's favorite hotel properties - it was absolutely beautiful and fulfilled the vision completely. She's a joy to work with!”
Amanda Plamondon, Design Manager - Kimpton Group
“Allison is not only a truly talented artist and consummate professional, she is also an absolute joy to collaborate with. Our business requires trust and stellar communication from our artist vendors from design to install for a project to be successful. Allison's remote coordination, job site decorum and ability to problem-solve and navigate onsite challenges with a positive and solution-based attitude is what all PM's strive for in a project partner. Would 100% recommend working with her again in any locale or scale!”
Donnie MacDonald, Senior Project Manager - NINE dot ARTS
“My students and I had the pleasure of working with Allison Kunath on a mural project at our school stadium, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, Allison was incredibly prepared, organized, and professional. She and her team created a welcoming environment that made our students feel valued and excited to participate. She also answered questions from my students before they painted the mural, so they could learn about the process.
Allison took the time to connect with students and guided them through the creative process with patience, enthusiasm, and expertise, turning the project into a meaningful learning experience. Students not only enjoyed contributing to the mural, but they also gained insight into artistic collaboration, design, and public art.
The final mural is beautiful and we are so grateful to Allison and her team for their talent, dedication, and ability to inspire young people. We highly recommend her to any school or organization looking to create an impactful community art project and I hope I get to work with her again in the future!”
Chelsea Greene, Visual Arts Teacher - Santa Maria High School
“As an Art Advisor at a busy art consultancy, working with artists who have both exceptional creative talent AND business acumen is invaluable. Allison has it all - creative prowess, professional integrity internally and with clients, responsiveness, problem-solving skills, flexibility - I could go on! She's a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for any project.”
Alyce Delbridge, Senior Art Advisor - TurningArt

She is a team player and always delivers on her deadlines. I only have positive things to say about our experience with her.”
Bart Hardwick, Project Manager - PMA
“Allison is a dream to work with! I was concerned given the number of personalities & individuals required for internal approvals, but Allison listened to everyone’s input, presented a few clear options, worked with us throughout the process and it could not have turned out better. Excited to work with her again one day!”
Jonathan Nichols, Senior Director - Tishman Speyer

Chloe Salk, Art Advisor - Kevin Barry Art Advisory
“Very professional artist and was comfortable on an active job site. Allison was committed to making a tight deadline and worked long hours to make sure our mural was ready as residents moved into to a new apartment building in Hollywood. Beautiful work overall with a design that complimented the building perfectly. Would be a pleasure to work with Allison again.”
Michael Hayes, Construction Project Manager - Holland Construction
"As an art advisor representing an ownership group, we had a wonderful experience with Allison. She was professional, receptive to revision requests, fairly priced, and overall had a lovely demeanor, which is very important when working with a large group of opinions. The client was extremely happy with the final piece.”
Katie Luka, Art Advisor - Kevin Barry Art Advisory

“It's a joy to share our experience of working with Allison Kunath. She was exceptional in every way. From her consultation process, to design detail, to genuine collaboration, to the personal touches, to the delivery of final products, Allison did a masterful job. And the murals, of course, speak for themselves! Allison is kind, humble, professional, and very talented. Highly recommend her in every way.”
Jonathan Kerhoulas
“Allison is fantastic to work with. Creative must be her middle name and our team appreciated the approach she took to navigate a complex group of people's thoughts into final designs. We could not have been happier with the finished product!”
Jonathan Nichols
“Allison is an incredible artist with impeccable instincts. I asked her for a custom piece for my psychotherapy office that would feel inspiring, contemplative, and neutral for clients. The bleach-on-linen work she created has a subtle expansiveness to it—an invitation to possibilities—and my patients regularly comment on how good it feels in the space. It's exactly what I had hoped for.”
Danielle
“Allison did such an amazing job on my backyard mural. She brought life to what was previously a wall. I couldn’t recommend her higher for any home or commercial projects. She’s worth every penny and is an amazing human being.”
Trent Stevens
“It should be apparent to anyone looking at Allison's portfolio, that she is a highly talented artist. The obvious being stated, Allison's artistic talent notwithstanding, she also brought a level of professionalism & positivity to the relationship that only served to add to what was a wonderful collaboration experience.”
Vanessa Verigin-Burgess
“Allison's work is not only prolific, it's original and captivating in so many ways. Her attention to detail and bold compositions make any wall come to life, creating timeless beauty that will accentuate any space it finds itself in.”
Erik Lindstrom
“We had the pleasure of working with Allison and her team on a project at a senior living community, and the results exceeded our expectations. They created two large-scale wayfinding murals in the parking garage, and the transformation was remarkable.
Not only are the murals visually stunning, but they also serve a clear functional purpose. The designs are bold, easy to read, and thoughtfully composed, making navigation simple and intuitive for residents and visitors alike. The artists took the time to understand the community, the environment, and the importance of clarity in wayfinding—especially in a senior living setting.
Throughout the process, they were professional, collaborative, and detail-oriented. Communication was seamless, deadlines were met, and the execution was flawless. The finished murals brought warmth, personality, and a strong sense of place to what was once a purely utilitarian space.
We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Allison and her team to anyone looking to combine creativity with purposeful design. Truly amazing work.”
Jenny Wright - StudioSIX5
“I recently had the incredible opportunity to have a mural painted by Allison Kunath on our property in downtown Long Beach which also serves as an Airbnb/vacation rental. She created a stunning abstract wave piece in our alleyway, and the result has been nothing short of transformative.
Because our property entrance is located in an alleyway people tend to treat it as “less than”. Allison’s work brought a deeply needed burst of energy and life to not just this space but the whole alley. Infusing art into an overlooked alley completely reshapes the tone for drivers and pedestrians. I’m confident her art will have a lasting positive affect on littering, vandalism and overall pride for other locals.
Her abstract interpretation of a wave feels both calming and dynamic, perfectly inviting guests onto our property. We've already received so many compliments from neighbors and guests. This piece has truly reenergized our home and added a meaningful layer of art and personality to the space.
If you own a home or property and want to give it facelift THIS IS THE WAY!!! Highly recommend - she was a joy to work with. I had no idea what colors or concept I wanted but after a brief chat she had so many great concepts to choose from!”

Donnie MacDonald
“We had the pleasure of having Allison bring to life a beautiful piece of mural art on our wall. Loved each stage of the process - from creating the piece of work together, choosing colours, to watching the piece of art come to life at our casa. Would highly recommend Allison. Incredible artist and wonderful human.”
Sasha Sherkat
“Very professional artist and was comfortable on an active job site. Allison was committed to making a tight deadline and worked long hours to make sure our mural was ready as residents moved into to a new apartment building in Hollywood. Beautiful work overall with a design that complimented the building perfectly. Would be a pleasure to work with Allison again.”
Michael Hayes
“I can’t say enough good things about Allison, she was such a pleasure to work with. She spent some time with us at our little hotel in the early days of opening and came in with such creativity. She created the coolest mural for us that’s held up amazingly for close to a decade. Guests pass by and regularly comment on its uniqueness. We are lucky to have an Allison Kunath original ❤️”
Janice Camp

live art
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Allison perform live art at our recent event, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. Her passion, kindness and talent made her a true joy to work with, and her presence elevated our event from a fun night into a truly special one.
Allison’s ability to adapt to the energy of the room while staying true to her unique artistic style was amazing. Our guests were not just observing an artist at work; they were witnessing something beautiful unfold in real-time, and then take home a stunning piece of her artwork to commemorate the event. Everyone was completely captivated by it.
Allison exceeded all our expectations, and we’ll absolutely be inviting her back for future events. She made the evening incredibly special.”
Lauren Dutton-Breen - Four Seasons Los Cabos
“Being in media for 20+ years and producing countless events for clients, I truly thought I had seen it all. Never in my career have I come across someone as talented and special as Allison.
She absolutely nailed the design, perfectly capturing our brand, our vibe, and the overall party aesthetic. Watching her work in real time was incredible. Guests were completely captivated throughout the day, constantly gathering around the mural to watch it come to life and engage with the process.
Allison didn’t just create artwork. She created a moment. The mural became a centerpiece of the event and a lasting piece that perfectly reflects the energy and creativity of the day. I was beyond impressed and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Courtney Kelly
“I've been trying to book you for a live art event [because] you offer something really special and different in the market. I've personally received many event portraits over the years and they've all ended up in the trash. I've been planning for 15 years and have seen the trend of live painting / live portraiture ebb and flow but I've never seen somebody do what you do - it's unique, creative, and the end result is something a guest actually wants to frame and keep.”
Elise Johnson, Managing Partner - Shannon Leahy Events
fine art & collaborations
“Allison collaborated with us on our book The Cuba Unknown. She came up with amazing illustration concepts and working with her through the design and printing process was super easy. She is a dream!”
Seth Brown
“I LOVE my Allison print! She is such a talented versatile artist. And, she's also very logical, practical, and easy to work with from the business end as well. Her experience showed when we asked for some help with framing and sizing to match an accompanying art piece. I trust her with all things design and aesthetics.”
Corigan Kushma
“Discovering Allison's work was a game changer for me. Her portfolio of ink drawings and watercolors is expansive and varied and I am always able to find exactly that I need for my projects. She is prompt in her communication and the works are expertly packed for shipping. In short, Allison is a consummate professional.”
Matthew Whitaker
“I had the pleasure of working with Allison on a mural for our first branded Origin clinic. She did an amazing job bringing the brand to life in a subtle way that will stand the test of time -- and she was so kind in how she managed the multiple very loud voices in the room ;) Would work with her again any time!”
Carine Carmy
“I recently reached out to Allison Kunath for a commissioned Art Work. I saw that she did custom blind contour drawings. I saw she’s done work for LAX and other great large installations; and thought… does she really also do blind contours? Her website said she did, and reached out to her through her contact page. She got back to me rather quickly, and was enthusiastic to help me with a very meaningful and personal commission.
Allison is not only a skilled artist, she’s a kind, compassionate, thoughtful individual who hears out your ideas and wants - being able to transfer them into a work of art.
She helped work within my short timeframe and was highly communicative, getting back to me in a very timely manner and informing me of the process / every step along the way.
I highly recommend reaching out to Allison to see what she can create for you. You won’t be disappointed in the process or the art!”
