Custom Public Murals for Cities & Communities
Public spaces shape how people experience a city, a neighborhood, or a district. A blank wall, an underpass, or a parking structure is a chance to give that space some identity.
I create custom murals for public-facing environments, working with cities, community organizations, Community Improvement Districts, developers, and property owners. Each mural transforms a blank or underused surface into something visually meaningful for the people who pass through it every day.
From the first concept to final installation, I work alongside your team to bring the project to life.
Murals for Public Spaces
City spaces, parking structures, bridges, underpasses, large exterior walls. If people move through it, I can design for it. Every surface gets its own approach, no cookie-cutter designs.
Murals for Community Improvement Districts
A district’s walls say a lot about its identity, whether that’s intentional or not. A mural can turn an underused space into something a neighborhood actually points to and calls its own.
Bridge & Underpass Murals
High visibility, full weather exposure, and access challenges most walls never deal with. Bridges and underpasses take real planning, and the design has to work whether someone’s walking under it or driving past at 40 mph.
Parking Garage & Infrastructure Murals
Some of the biggest blank walls in a city are sitting in parking decks and utility structures, going completely unnoticed. That’s an opportunity, not a problem.
Murals That Reflect the Identity of a City
Good public art isn’t decoration; it’s storytelling. Local history, landmarks, culture, the things a place is actually known for. That’s what shapes the design.
Concept
From Concept to Public Mural Installation
Project Consultation
It starts with a conversation about the space, the goals, and who the mural is really for.
Site & Wall Assessment
I look at the wall itself, covering surface condition, visibility, and any access or safety considerations.
Concept Development
Design directions take shape, built around the location’s story and how people actually experience it.
Design Approval
We finalize the design together, with feedback and sign-off, before any painting starts.
Painting & Installation
The concept comes to life using materials built for outdoor, high-traffic public spaces.
Final Reveal
The wall is ready, and so is the public, to see, use, and share it.

Why Work With Elise Garcia?
I design every public mural specifically for its location, its scale, and the people who will see it every day. Working with cities and CIDs means keeping multiple stakeholders aligned, so I keep communication clear from approval through installation.
Large-scale public work brings its own demands, and I plan for them early, from surface prep on outdoor infrastructure to designing for visibility at a distance or in motion. Based in Atlanta, I travel for public art projects anywhere.
