Murals & Panels

Our murals are either painted directly on structures or on plywood panels to be installed where desired. The murals range in size depending on the size of the building and the specifics of the client.  Painting directly on buildings is a great opportunity for our youth to get outside, enjoy the sun, and receive praise from the community for creating such beautiful public artwork. It is a great way to instill pride and self-esteem in the artists.
 
The plywood panels are painted in-house and later installed on the interior or exterior of buildings.  Our standard panels are 4 x 8' and 1/2" in width and can be used as individual murals or pieced together to make a grand-scale mural.  Panels are ideal for seasons when the weather is not conducive to outdoor painting.
