Painted Murals

I hand-paint the murals in my studio on fire-resistant polycarbonate panels. This allows me to create highly detailed artwork off-site and avoids having to close busy wards or corridors. The finished panels are delivered to the hospital and installed by Estates teams or contractors.

Positive Distraction & Engagement

My murals are designed to be clinical tools, not just decoration.

• Hidden Details: I include "Easter eggs"—like small ladybirds, snails, or recurring characters—hidden throughout the artwork.

• Distraction Therapy: This creates an interactive "Find the Object" game that staff can use to distract and engage distressed children during long waits or uncomfortable procedures.

Materials & Clinical Safety

Safety and longevity are just as important as the artwork itself.

• Fire Safety: I paint on fire-resistant mural panels, meeting the strict requirements of NHS fire officers and building regulations.

• Infection Control: Every mural is sealed with a tough, anti-graffiti varnish. This makes the surface non-porous, fully wipeable, and resistant to strong hospital cleaning fluids.

• Guarantee: The varnish is guaranteed for over 20 years, meaning the artwork will look as vibrant in a decade as it does today.

A Guide to Costs

Every project is unique, and pricing is calculated based on two main factors: Scale and Complexity.

• Scale (Size): Murals can range from small "accent" panels (e.g., 60cm x 60cm) to large-format feature walls (e.g., 2m x 1m or larger). Larger areas naturally require more materials and time.

• Complexity (Detail): A simple scene with a single character will cost less than a highly detailed "narrative" scene filled with hidden animals and complex backgrounds.

I am happy to provide a range of options to suit your budget, from simple focal points to fully immersive scenes.

Commissioning Steps

Step 1: Initial Discussion We discuss the space via email or phone. If you can send a photo of the wall, I can often give initial advice immediately.

Step 2: Measurement & Quote For local projects, I can conduct a site visit. For projects further afield, I can work from your Estates team's measurements. I then provide a fixed quote.

Step 3: Design Concept I produce detailed pencil drawings of the composition. We refine these until you are 100% happy with the narrative and layout.

Step 4: Creation I paint the murals in my studio, applying the layers of acrylic paint and the final protective varnish.

Step 5: Delivery & Installation I deliver the finished panels to your site. Your Estates team or approved contractor then installs them (typically by screwing or glueing the lightweight panels to the wall). I am available to consult with the installers to ensure a perfect finish.
