About The Artist
Specialized in customized art work, European visual artist Gabrielle Utz has become one of the leading muralists for the “European Old Master Style” in greater Los Angeles.
Her murals are breath-taking, inspiring and unique. They create the right ambiance and style for any space. Everyone could be called a ” Masterpiece” for itself.
Gabrielle works in private residences and does commercial murals as well. In Europe she did art work for companies such as IKEA, UBS or GateGourmet, the world biggest airline caterer.
She worked in beautiful homes of Bel Air, Pacific Palisades and Beverly Hills. Her murals for children are very charming and add something special to every children’s bedroom.
How does it work
1. Receive an estimate.
Gabrielle needs the size of the walls and what kind of design you would like in order to provide you with the right estimate. Her estimates are per project and include everything. Little projects or repair jobs will be estimated with an hourly or daily rate depending on the kind of work to do.
2. Designing
If you want Gabrielle to design the mural for you she is asking $300 up-front which will be included in the overall amount for the mural (in case Gabrielle is doing the project).
3. Faux Finished Walls
Some Old World style Murals require a faux finished background. The walls need to be painted by a painter in the appropiate color for the Faux Finish. Faux Finishes are between $15-$25 per SF.
4. Painting the Mural
After the design has been approved the painting process starts. An up-front payment of 50 percent is required for every project above $1000.
5. Working process
Gabrielle works very close with her clients and is encouraging them to “participate”. This means her clients can tell her what colors they like and other little details which might be important to add during the painting process. This does not include any design changes.
6. Completion
After the mural is completed the remaining amount is due and the client has the chance to get minor corrections done within 24 hours. Any demanded corrections afterwards are not part of the project anymore.
