Turn a room into a
memorable work of art.
What’s the process?
-
I offer complimentary consultations for any home or business interested in a mural. During this phase, we'll discuss your vision and goals for the space. Simply fill out my contact form, and I’ll get in touch to explore how we can transform your walls into something unforgettable.
-
After our consultation, I'll create a proposal for you to review, which includes a vision board, color palette, estimated timeline, and a range of pricing options. Murals are priced by the square foot, and overall investment is dependent on the amount of detail, color and supplies needed for the project.
At this stage, there is still no obligation or cost.
-
Once the proposal is approved, I’ll send over a contract, and a 50% deposit is required to secure the booking.
At this point, I begin designing—a detailed visual of what the final mural will look like.
-
Depending on the scope of the mural, 1-2 rounds of revisions are included if needed. Once the design is approved, I’ll purchase supplies and plan the trip to your site! We'll compare calendars and agree on the best dates for me to come and paint.
-
Now it's time to bring the vision to life! Every mural I create is built to last, with no shortcuts or rushed details. Each brushstroke is made with care and intention, ensuring a stunning impact for years to come.
-
Once the mural is complete, the remaining balance is due. With the completion of each mural, I also provide professional photos of the mural for you to use in promoting your newly transformed space.
Murals not only add character and creativity, but they also become conversation pieces, photo backdrops, and memorable landmarks that invite guests to return to your beautiful space.
Some murals & their stories
William Barnet & Sons
William Barnet & Sons, an international fiber manufacturing company based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, invited me to create a mural celebrating their 125-year legacy. The goal was to design a welcoming space that brings Barnet's history to life, serving as an engaging and memorable visual autobiography.
Using Barnet’s brand colors, fonts, and imagery, I crafted a mural that truly reflects their story. This project shows that even corporate environments can be vibrant, creative, and leave a lasting impression on everyone who walks through the door.
“A special thank you to the talented Ryan Finley for bringing our story to life through art. We can’t wait for this piece to inspire everyone who walks through our doors!”
Destination Hyatt:
Wild Dunes Resort
Wild Dunes Resort, part of Destination by Hyatt, is located on Isle of Palms, just outside Charleston, South Carolina. Known for its relaxed luxury, beachfront access, and award-winning golf courses, the resort wanted a mural that would offer guests both a beautiful photo op and a showcase of member golf records.
One wall serves as a 'Wall of Fame,' featuring the Wild Dunes and Club logos along with record-holder names written in a playful, handwritten cursive font.
The outward-facing wall illustrates the iconic 18th hole of the Links Course in a vibrant style, complete with a standing golf club prop for guests to pose with. You can find the mural on the patio of the Links Clubhouse, right next to Huey’s restaurant
Residential Mural:
Isle of Palms Marsh
Murals aren’t just for businesses! This client wanted a statement piece for the entryway of her Isle of Palms home. She envisioned soft brushstrokes and a calming scene but wasn’t afraid to make it bold. Together, we carefully selected a color palette inspired by some of her favorite local artwork that complements her home’s design. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the mural features a serene marsh with a cluster of trees and egrets, creating a striking yet tranquil focal point that reflects the natural beauty of Isle of Palms.
Old Skool Outfitter
Zach and Cy’ree from Old Skool Outfitter approached me about doing a mural that feels fun, inviting, true to Downtown Greenville, honest to their vintage clothing store, and overall creates a memorable moment when you walk in. You can see the first part of this 300 square foot mural from the street, and it flows down the staircase all the way to the checkout counter. Inspired by Keith Haring, nearly every element of the mural carries meaning and tells a story.
Since finishing the mural in February 2023, this mural has been featured by NASCAR and GVLtoday, as well as photographed and shared on social media by hundreds of customers. This mural serves not just as a captivating art piece, but also as a conversation starter and a powerful marketing tool for the space."
“Window shopping takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to @oldskooloutfitter’s new mural by local artist @rc.finleyart. ”
Mak & Cheesecakes
Mak & Cheesecakes is a beloved family-owned cheesecake bakery in Simpsonville, South Carolina. This vibrant mural is filled with sweet food elements, nods to Downtown Simpsonville, and pays homage to New York City, where co-owner Lisa perfected her cheesecake recipe. It also features their adorable doodle, Toby, and their two precious sons, Mak and Judah.
The bold design welcomes customers as they enter the store, providing a memorable backdrop for photos. The classic black and white color palette ensures that the mural will seamlessly evolve with the store's style over time.
Wrapsodies
Wrapsodies, a female-owned gift boutique in Easley, SC, wanted a chic and abstract mural that incorporated their signature colors and logo. To ensure precision, I projected and traced their logo directly onto the wall. The mural blends an organic, hand-painted feel with clean, sharp lines for a stylish yet readable design.
Using three colors of wall paint, metallic paint for the ‘frame,’ and a touch of gold leaf for extra shine and texture, the mural stands at 5x4 feet and took just over a day to complete. It’s a true testament to how simple-yet-bold design can elevate a space!
Bethany’s Studio 1
Brianna reached out to me about creating a special mural in a Clemson salon as a Christmas gift for her mom, Bethany. She shared some inspiration photos and envisioned incorporating the birth flowers of herself, her mom, and her sister. Brianna also wanted to add butterflies to symbolize a cherished memory her mother shared about her grandmother. This mural is not only timeless and beautiful but also deeply personal for Brianna and her family.
Measuring approximately 9 feet by 10 feet, the mural was completed in November 2021. The butterflies were adorned with gold leaf and sealed with polyurethane to ensure their longevity. To enhance the salon’s ambiance, I scattered three additional butterflies on other walls, creating the illusion that they fluttered off the mural to fill the space above the mirrors.
Capelli Salon
Marie Wilson, the owner of the salon, shared a vibrant Pinterest board filled with lively colors, playful shapes, and feminine accents that truly captured her vision. Inspired by the rose tattoo on her arm and her daughter’s name, Lillie, I crafted a design rich in meaning and personal significance. Completed in 2020, this mural has since become a useful backdrop and a vibrant pop of color in the salon, reflecting the atmosphere of Capelli and welcoming each guest who walks through its doors.
“It is my favorite part of the whole salon. I am amazed...I feel so much love from your mural, and I never knew that was possible.”
Oxford Barber Co.
Completed in June 2021, this mural was designed for John Redgrave, the owner of Oxford Barber Co., at his new location in Patrick Square. With a desire to pay homage to Clemson while maintaining an air of sophistication, we opted for a palette of muted colors and bold, chunky tiger pattern that feels both modern and timeless. This creates a refined yet inviting atmosphere for the space.
Oxford Barber Co.
John, the owner of the barber shop, reached out to me with a photo of his vision for his third shop in the West Village of Greenville in November 2020. At the time, I had never taken on a project at this scale, and I excitedly, I accepted the challenge.
The design featured simple lines, circles, and stars resembling a constellation map. Due to its size and minimalism, I needed to ensure clean lines and symmetrical circles. I meticulously drew each line and stenciled the stars in white paint, filling the room with constellations. Some stars were leafed in gold for an added pop and an antique feel.
I will forever be thankful for the faith John put in me at the time. I was just a sophomore in college and wasn’t even sure if art could be my full-time profession. But since then, I’ve done three murals for John’s shops alone. Each star was thoughtfully painted and prayed over, and I remember being in awe to think that God manages to care for each of us, just as He created the stars.
The Partum Company
This mural, completed in the summer of 2020, was my very first larger-scale project. I collaborated with the founders of The Partum Co., who generously provided me the opportunity to experiment with various cartoons and sketches on their office wall. This experience allowed me to practice my technique, explore different materials, and delve into an artistic style that I felt unfamiliar at the time.
