Hi! My name is Elise Garcia and I’m a muralist. I specialize in illustration style designs, full of color and inspirational phrases! I typically paint in Elementary Schools and local businesses, though I am now receiving large scale 4000 sq/ft + projects. I love painting inspirational designs, ones that make people stop and take photos in front of them!

I’m Lenia Castro, a muralist and artist originally from Cuba. I graduated with a degree in Film and Television Direction from the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana, where I worked on several short films and documentaries that received national recognition. In 2013, I moved to the United States, and the following year, I cofounded a mural company with another artist, which allowed me to explore public art. In 2023, I founded Upper Westside Murals, where I now work as the founder, creative director, and lead artist. My journey has been both humbling and rewarding, as I’ve had the opportunity to create murals for businesses and apartments in places like Ponce City Market, MOD Pizza, Super Pan, and Miami Circle, among others. Each project is a chance to bring my love for vibrant colors and storytelling to life in public spaces. I believe in the power of art to connect people, and I’m grateful to contribute to that in my own way.

Emma is a painter/illustrator born and raised in Marietta, Georgia. After years working seasonal service industry jobs at national parks around the country, she’s made it back to Georgia where she’s now jumped out full time into illustration, design and mural painting. A lifetime spent exploring the outdoors is reflected in the themes and characters of her work.

As a recent transplant to Atlanta, I quickly fell in love with my new home—thanks in large part to the city’s vibrant local artwork, striking murals, and inspiring community beautification projects. Originally from Poland, I feel a deep connection to Atlanta’s strong and welcoming immigrant community, which instantly made me feel at home and deepened my appreciation for the city. For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to painting murals, primarily for private clients. What I love most about my work is the opportunity to meet new people, transform spaces with art, and leave others with a sense of joy and inspiration in their surroundings.

As a sculptor, my work has appeared on NCIS, been commissioned by Guillermo Del Toro, among others, and appeared in numerous galleries and publications. In my work at Universal Studios, I was part of a team responsible for fabricating, maintaining, and improving scenic elements, animatronics, and theming in such venues as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Jurassic World, AMC’s The Walking Dead, and others throughout the park. I’ve been honored to teach sculpture and mold making in classroom settings and through individual instruction, both in person and virtually to students of a wide range of ages and skill levels. Having the opportunity to share my passion for art and the skills I’ve cultivated with others is both humbling and elating. Through it all, I’ve been creating commissioned art works as well as my one of a kind and limited run personal artworks, which I sell through my web store, galleries, and at various trade shows and conventions.
