Introducing Gary Baillie:
An amazing mural artist in the Tampa Bay area

Specializing in Original Murals and Custom Faux Finishes

Gary was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to the United States in 1997, bringing with him his Scottish accent and incredible artistic talent. He now lives and works in the Tampa Bay area, creating stunning murals on the walls of restaurants, museums, offices, commercial buildings and other public spaces. As shown throughout this website, Gary's artistry is truly amazing.

From old world classic painting techniques to modern wall finishes, Gary provides the master's touch in each project he creates.

Gary has refined his skills with over 20 years of hands on experience in the decorative painting field. Each project is custom-designed after a thorough interview with each customer to produce a beautiful painting to enhance the decor of homes, offices and retail buildings. Gary ensures absolute satisfaction with each of his projects.

What customers say about Gary's artwork:

I just contacted Gary again for another artistic adventure!

Gary, with his Scottish charm, was a pleasure to work with. He is very good at offering ideas outside the box and executing them — thus he is truly “an artist.” All his work met and, as usual, exceeded my expectations. I just contacted Gary again for another artistic adventure for a repeat customer!

He not only creates art, he transforms spaces

Gary is a fabulous designer and installer of stunning artistic work. He brings old-world creativity and modern day intelligence to create pieces of art. At my Dunedin home, Gary gave a wood grain look to my metal garage door and front door, faux painted the front of the house, built a trellis with gardenias, and created a garden with our beautiful plants. While homes in my neighborhood had sold for $190k, I sold my now charming home for $220k in just 2 weeks! I highly recommend Gary Baillie where a reliable, smart, and warm artist is wanted. He not only creates art, he transforms spaces.

No design is out of his range

Having Gary as my go-to artist for projects when I need a hand, when I need an expert to restore a custom plaster finish, paint a complicated gradient ombre wall or hand letter a clients name and logo on a building fascia — he is there, with the tools, the talent and peaceful energy to handle any job with creativity and clean workmanship. No design is out of his range. Solid.

...a visually impactful piece which helps us to tell the story of our museum...

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary Baillie as he completed a large mural project at our museum. Gary has helped bring to realization our founder's vision in a larger-than-life-way, as murals do. Gary has gone above and beyond to learn more about an unfamiliar subject, researching and collaborating extensively. The results speak for themselves; the mural is a visually impactful piece which helps us to tell the story of our museum to visitors young and old. I appreciate and recommend Gary Baillie for his artistic talent, determination, and willingness to be a part of a team.

He instantly transformed the space into an Italian villa

Look no further than Gary Baillie for superb high end wall finishes and painting. I hired someone to do a high-end Venetian plaster finish and they absolutely did NOT know what they were doing. Along came Gary (highly recommended by a friend). He not only came to the rescue and worked extra hours to keep the project on schedule, but his work product was exceptional!! He instantly transformed the space into an Italian villa. He is truly an artist!
