Important Criteria in Choosing An Artist

Choose an artist with whom you feel comfortable - If you have a large-scale project this artist could be in your home for several days or weeks. You want to be sure they listen to you and your ideas and are willing to work with you. Many artists have a tendency to take over a project as if it were their own.
Know exactly what you are getting from the artist up front - The last thing you want is a surprise when the bill comes. Before any painting takes place make sure they provide you with a detailed drawing of the design or faux finish sample along with a final estimate.
View samples of their work before you hire them - Every artist should bring along a portfolio to your meeting or at least some samples of their work.
Don't trust that "They can do it."
Ask for references - It's a good idea to find out what their work characteristics are. A few questions you may want to ask - Were they messy? Did they complete the job when they said they would? Were they easy to deal with? Were there any surprise costs?

Artist Consultation

When a client commissions a mural or a custom piece, a consultation is scheduled and ideas are exchanged. Fabric samples, wallpaper samples, and the style of furniture are all taken into consideration in creating your one of a kind piece of art. Most designs are done free hand and some are projected on to the wall. Once the design is created a
small design fee is charged.
