How did Westchester Murals start?
We have been working in Westchester since 2015 but have officially launched Westchester Murals in 2024 with our partner, Daniel Giuntini. We have completed murals in many residential homes for baby rooms, basements, bedrooms, dining rooms, garages, and more. We’ve also completed many commercial projects in gyms, restaurants, offices, etc. One of our largest murals is at the JFK Marina in Yonkers where we painted 3 large walls and included people of the community to be a part of the painting process.
What do you recommend clients do before they start the project?
Start by defining your vision, and have a clear idea of what you want as far as the overall mood, theme, and colors. Gathering inspiration from photos is very helpful in this process. Choose the right artist for your style. Research and have conversations with the artist to help you choose. You can also openly discuss your budget with the artist to ensure they can work within your financial limits. One fun tip we like to recommend is to involve your family or the community in your mural. Having a small section that they can paint with the artists makes it that much more fun and personal!
What do you love most about Westchester?
We love the community! There are so many outdoor activities and beautiful places to visit. It has a high quality of life, with clean, safe neighborhoods, and well-maintained infrastructure. The area’s natural beauty, coupled with modern amenities, makes it a great place to call home. We love the diverse dining options from farm-to-table restaurants to international cuisines. We created Westchester Murals to continue the strong sense of community we feel around us. We have found something we love to do and have turned it into a successful business and we want to inspire the younger artists to do the same.
