About Us

We are more than just muralists; we are
your mural business partner from Atlanta.

Meet the Muralists

Upper West Side Murals isn’t just a collective—we’re a tribe of painters who believe blank spaces are just stories waiting to happen. From jaw-dropping cityscapes that make you stop mid-scroll to playful kid zones that spark imagination, we transform boring walls into visual explosions of emotion, energy, and pure personality.

Based in the vibrant heart of Atlanta but painting our way across America, our murals aren’t just painted—they’re crafted with intention, splashed with joy, and drenched in colors that make your eyes do a happy dance. Whether it’s your home, business, or that public space nobody notices (yet).
