Common questions
What does it cost to hire a mural artist?
Private commissions start at $10K and commercial murals at $25K. The final number depends on scale, surface and site access, which is exactly what the quote works out. Estimates are free.
Who actually paints the mural?
Shae Petersen, personally. Every commission is designed, quoted and painted by the artist rather than handed to a crew. What you scope in the first conversation is what shows up on the wall.
Is the work really freehand?
Yes. Aerosol only, zero stencils, on every project regardless of scale. No tricks, no shortcuts. It is the same freehand technique built on aerosol work that started in 1996.
Do you come from a graffiti background?
Yes. Shae started as a graffiti artist, very young. Years of professional design work followed, as Creative Director for major tech companies, and he picked spray paint back up in 2007. The work since has combined the graffiti aesthetic with graphic design principles, which is most of the reason it looks the way it does.
How large can a mural be?
Atlas, at the North Temple Frontrunner Station in Salt Lake City, stands 85 feet tall and covers more than 3,600 square feet, the largest mural in Utah.
Where do you work?
Shae is based in Salt Lake City and works across the Wasatch Front, and is available for commissions worldwide. Finished work on this site includes murals in Las Vegas, Orange County and Farmington as well as Salt Lake City.
What happens after I send this form?
Shae reviews it personally, usually the same day, and replies by email, either with a quote or with the questions needed to narrow the scope.
