Australian Mural Artist
HAPPY DECAY is an Australian mural artist and multidisciplinary creative whose practice focuses on transforming public spaces through large-scale mural work. His murals are designed to create positive, memorable experiences within everyday environments, strengthening the connection between people and place. Through bold colour, playful forms, and distinctive visual storytelling, his work turns walls, laneways, and urban surfaces into moments of curiosity and imagination—whether encountered in passing or experienced daily.
With a strong understanding of composition, scale, and spatial interaction, HAPPY DECAY approaches each mural as both an artwork and a placemaking opportunity. His process considers how people move through and engage with a space, ensuring the mural not only enhances the visual environment but also contributes to a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.
Working across both public and commercial settings, he has been trusted by leading organisations and brands including the ACT Government, Meta, Porsche, Nike, Prada (in collaboration with Adidas), and Stockland, as well as councils throughout Australia to deliver impactful mural and public art projects.
Custom Murals
Through each commission, HAPPY DECAY seeks to elevate the everyday—acting as a self-described “urban beautician”—bringing colour, optimism, and renewed identity to the walls and spaces that shape our daily experience.

A big focus of his large-scale paintings as a mural artist is to help create a better public space through art. Placemaking has become an important aspect of his process. Taking into consideration the space and who uses it is just as important as the visual look of the mural artwork.
I have also painted murals as part of art festivals around Australia, such as Un[contained] in Sydney and Surface Festival in Miami on the Gold Coast.

Mural Artists FAQs
How much does a mural cost?
Each mural job has to be priced individually. Several factors must be considered when pricing a mural, such as the cost of materials, the development of the design concept, and other possible needs for equipment hire.
What is the lifespan of a mural?
How long a mural lasts will depend upon the preparation of the wall, the paints used, aerosol or acrylic house paints and then if the mural is located in full sun as opposed to being indoors away from the natural elements.
How do you create a mural design?
An initial design brief will help guide the outcome. With the right questions about the location and the people who use the space HAPPY DECAY will create a concept based on those answers, and with further discussion with the client.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
With each mural project, a timeframe for how long it will take to paint will be included. Some time factors will be the detail of the mural, the size and also if the wall is affected by the weather.
