Commissioning a mural in Memphis, Tennessee works best as a real project: a clear design phase, a scoped wall, and a professional process from first sketch to final coat — not a spray-paint favor. Corey Barksdale is an Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist who takes on mural, live-painting, and public art commissions nationwide, including projects in Memphis.
Muralist for hire in Memphis
Memphis is the birthplace of the blues and home to Beale Street and Stax Records, and that musical legacy shows up constantly in the city's murals — portraits of soul and blues legends, tributes to Black music history, and murals celebrating the neighborhoods that built the sound.
What working with Corey Barksdale looks like
Every project starts with a conversation about the wall, the site, and what the mural needs to do — tell a story, anchor a brand, activate a community space, or mark an event. From there, design concepts, a clear timeline, and a straightforward scope come before any paint goes up, so there are no surprises for you or your Memphis location.
