Around here, a mural usually means realism. Lindsey's don't.
Lindsey Patton paints murals built around color — not as decoration, but as the whole idea. A palette gets chosen for how its parts sit against each other, then scaled up wall-sized and held together with a clean, confident black line, the way a stained-glass window holds color inside lead, or a comic panel holds a scene inside ink.
[Personal note for Lindsey: add a paragraph here about how you got into murals, what draws you to color theory, and what it's like to work with you — this is the spot for your own voice.]
- Based in Columbia, Missouri
- Travels throughout Missouri for on-site work
- Style: bold, flat color defined by a clean black outline — illustrative and graphic, never photorealistic
- Every project starts with a custom color study before any paint touches the wall
The line holds it together
Every shape gets a clean, confident black edge — the outline isn't a sketch step that gets painted over, it's structural. It's what lets a checkerboard stay crisp, a koi pond read as water and not just blue, a wall full of color hold its shape from across the room instead of blurring into a wash.
Paired with that structure is a deliberate eye for color: how a magenta and a marigold sit next to each other, where a teal needs to land to cool a wall down, when a warm cream ground lets the bold colors breathe. Each room gets its own combination — the point isn't one signature palette, it's knowing how to build a new one every time.
