Commissioning a mural in Malibu, California 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 Malibu.
Muralist for hire in Malibu
Malibu's coastal, understated luxury sets a different tone than nearby LA — commissions here tend to be private estate work or subtle, high-quality pieces for hospitality spaces rather than large public-facing walls.
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 Malibu location.
