Why have a hand painted mural ?

I have come to learn why people commission mural art, whilst painting murals for the last 16 years, and the reason is because it is personal, unique to the owner, a complete one-off specially created for them and no – one else and that is what makes a mural painting so different. My clients value having an actually painting that shows my brushstrokes, craftsmanship and energy through the painting.
