Commissioning a mural in Santa Monica, 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 Santa Monica.
Muralist for hire in Santa Monica
Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade and the Bergamot Station arts complex have made murals and public art a visible, established part of the city's identity for both visitors and residents.
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 Santa Monica location.
Types of murals for Santa Monica clients
For Santa Monica clients that means high-visibility murals for retail and hospitality along the Promenade, plus gallery-adjacent work suited to the Bergamot Station arts scene.
