“Jon is incredibly professional, thorough, and easy to work with. My wall was particularly challenging, as it's corrugated metal, so no brushes could be used, only spray paint. I've seen other artists attempt to paint on corrugated metal and the end product had me question if it was possible to do high quality work on this medium. But Jon's commitment to excellence was on another level and I'm thrilled with the way our mural turned out!

I was especially impressed by Jon's attention to detail; he's even come back to touch up some of the colors on the wall in the months following the completion of the mural.

Jon is very versatile and can pretty much paint whatever you're asking for. I also really appreciated that he stuck to our budget - the quote he gave me was exactly what I ended up paying, not a penny more."

“Jon Murrill's popular mural projects have multiplied in Roanoke and the Southwest Virginia region. His work is integral within the artist community and visually represents the flavor of our local history, culture, and interests.

This is not by accident, Jon is a prolific and talented artist who works easily with his clients, exhibiting a technical ability that continues to develop and refine, regardless of the mural's subject matter."

“Jon is a remarkably gifted artist, community organizer and creative force in Roanoke and beyond. His special gifts include concept development and project management — but his real superpowers lie in his ability to articulate his vision and attract enthusiastic collaborators in the private and public sectors.

Jon is a unique and inspiring local talent. We highly recommend Jon Murrill for anyone considering commissioning a custom mural.”
