MURALS & PUBLIC ART

I’m Emily, a Midlands-based mural artist creating colourful murals and public art for organisations and communities across the UK. From schools and hospitals to businesses and public spaces, I create artwork that celebrates people, place and story, and makes spaces feel special.

what can I help with?

Colourful murals that create welcoming spaces, support wayfinding and communicate information in hospitals and healthcare settings.

why a mural?

Murals can completely change how a space feels. They can turn blank walls into landmarks, create a sense of identity and make places more welcoming, memorable and engaging.

They do more than decorate. Murals can tell stories, communicate information, support wayfinding and connect people to a place.

turn bland walls into something people actually want to look at.

development

With your feedback I’ll refine the chosen direction. There are 2 more rounds of revisions at this stage.

final artwork & install

We’ll agree a time and date and I’ll install the mural. I use paints suitable for the environment and apply a top coat of varnish
