About us

I paint very realistic murals of the night sky, like you would see from a very remote location here on earth. I say, "here on earth" because there are some artists who paint large planets and space ships, while I focus on creating a realistic looking mural that makes you say, "Wow!"... and is fun to relax under. I am the founder of Night Sky Murals and I am the only painter in my company. If someone wants to learn to do this business, I will train them, but they don't work under the Night Sky Murals name (I have worked too hard to create a business with a good reputation to let others use the name). Customers always tell me that the real murals that I paint are much better than the pictures that I have on my site... because, in the pictures, you can't see many of the stars that are in the mural, and you can't get the 3D effect from a picture. I am also told often that the stars even twinkle like the real night sky. The murals that I paint are not visible in the light, when the mural is painted on a lighter colored ceiling. And, even when I paint on black ceilings... about 99% of the stars are still invisible. usually only the constellation stars are the only visible stars are a black ceiling and most of my customers have liked that. I paint from coast to coast and have painted in Canada too. I am usually traveling somewhere to paint. I will travel anywhere a customer would like me to paint. The way that I work travel is to try and set up a few jobs in an area first, then I pay for the travel charges. If the customer can't wait for me to set up other jobs, and they don't mind paying the travel expenses... then I will fly out whenever is convenient for them. I started out years ago, before starting as an "official business" by painting kids rooms mainly. Then, as the murals got better and better, people started having me paint in the master bedroom as well. Today, the three most popular rooms for my murals are in the Master Bedroom, Home Theater room and then Kids rooms. A room that is starting to become more popular is a "Relaxation Room". I am proud to have been featured in some great national media outlets. Some of them include the Robb Report's "Luxury Homes" magazine, Affluent magazine, Unique Homes magazine, on HGTV and the Fine Living networks... and even in the Angie's List magazine. More recently I found that I was included in a Family Circle article. I do not use sub-contractors to paint my night sky murals. I will however, find a local artist to paint a mural on a ceiling first, before I come in and paint. My murals are great on top of another mural that is visible in the light... such as a mural of a blue sky with clouds. I don't hire them myself, but I try to find a few good, local artists (local to the customer) who I think will do a good job and then I give that information to the customer. I let them work that out with that artist. I do it more as a way to help the customer out and I don't receive any compensation from anyone else.

35 years of trusted experience
Emergency Services Offered

Services we offer

I paint realistic ceiling murals of the night sky on ceilings, and sometimes will bring the murals down the walls too. My main focus is creating a night sky that you would see if you were on top of a mountain peak, or far out at sea on a cruise ship that had all of it's lights turned off. My murals glow in the dark and are invisible in the light. The murals also glow for up to 10 hours under right conditions. Constellations, Milky Way, Crescent moon and thousands of smaller stars.

Services we don't offer

Any other type of painting or murals. The only thing that we do is paint murals of the night sky. I also don't paint planets and deep space objects. Since those are not really visible with the naked eye, I stay away from them. Of course planets are visible, but not their rings and moons... so I don't highlight those.

Jeff was able to fit my project with several others in the East Coast. (Since he operates from Utah, it is understandable that he waits to accumulate a few jobs in the area before taking a cross-country flight. A month and a half passed between my first email to Jeff and the actual painting). I am familiar with the night sky and requested that the ceiling be painted astronomically correctly. I specified the exact constellations to be depicted, and provided a map of that area of the sky. Jeff used a small planetarium to project the star locations onto the ceiling before painting, to ensure they are positioned where they should be. It took Jeff seveal hours to complete the work. He showed me the progress after each step, giving me an chance to change things if I felt that it was needed. The mural turned out awesome. The paint keeps glowing for hours. The sky looks so natural that one keeps expecting to see a shooting star. During daytime, however, it is impossible to tell that there's anything on the ceiling other than the plain ceiling paint; Jeff's glow-in-the-dark paint is invisible. Truly amazing.
Description of Work: The entire ceiling of a 11' x 13' room covered with the mural of a specified segment of the night sky. Stars range from very bright to barely visible. The Milky Way is depicted, too. The photos on Jeff's site are true to the effect he achieves.

Response from Night Sky Murals
Wow, happy to see this report on Angie's List... and really glad that it was positive! :-) As was mentioned, it can take a while for me to get to a certain area to paint, but I try my hardest to coordinate everyone's schedules and to got to that area as soon as possible. So far I've had great customers who have been patient with me and have waited. I think that I have the greatest customers in the first place and have enjoyed meeting them all. Thanks for he really nice report. I had a great time out in your area! Jeff
