Commercial Building Mural & Sign by Emma Sarran Webster in Chicago
Commercial Building Mural & Sign
I assisted artist Ryan Tova Katz on executing her design for this commercial mural, which included the entire base of this shop's exterior as well as the sign and design on top. I painted a large portion of the purple, including the brick exterior, under the awnings, building doors, and vestibule walls and ceilings. I also assisted in painting some of the colorful shapes up top.
I've been an artist for nearly 20 years — first as a professional writer and editor, and (much) more recently as a muralist and illustrator as well. I took a leap of faith to create my first mural — a narrow floor-to-ceiling floral design inside my closet — without any training or experience and fell in love with the medium. Since then, I've designed, created, and assisted on several more murals, including a full-wall recreation of the Wrigley Field marquee and facade (a solo project) and a massive school playground series (as assistant to a successful Chicago artist). I entered the world of illustrating similarly, trying it out first as a tentative hobby and building from there. I find inspiration in nature, the city around me, and even music I hear and words I read. But whether it's muraling, illustrating, or lettering, I'm equally energized by creating my own designs as I am executing a client's vision (or a combination of both). Let's work together: I'm confident we can make magic.
