“Marty’s Murals Literally Transform Spaces” McKinley G. Williams
Perhaps nothing demonstrates Marty Wisher’s artistic genius more vividly than her murals. Her work in this area has earned her a reputation that is virtually unmatched in the industry today. Each mural she creates is a unique masterpiece, designed not only to beautify a space but also to tell a story, evoke emotion, and reflect the client’s vision.
When commissioned to design a commercial mural, Marty brings a highly personalized approach to every project. For instance, when creating a mural for a restaurant, she carefully considers factors such as the menu, location, lighting, and the owner’s vision. Every element influences the final design, resulting in a cohesive and meaningful work of art that enhances the ambiance and identity of the space.
Murals have the power to transform any public setting. Imagine walking into an aquarium and being greeted by a breathtaking 30-foot seascape, or entering a tropical-themed nursery where the walls bloom with color and life. For Marty, the possibilities are as limitless as imagination itself.
Her clients consistently find that investing in a mural yields a return far beyond what can be measured financially. The joy and atmosphere her art creates—whether through the smiles of guests or the inviting ambiance that encourages customers to linger—are truly priceless. A mural by Marty Wisher is not just decoration; it’s an experience.
Marty’s journey in art began long before Swan Studios came to life. She was, as many who know her say, born an artist. Her love affair with drawing and painting began when she was just a toddler—“God bless Crayola crayons,” she laughs. By the age of five, she was already sketching crucifixes and churches inspired by travels through Europe with her parents.
Her natural talent flourished throughout her youth. In high school, she was recognized as Louisiana’s State Champion for pencil sketching and oil painting, later going on to compete at the national level in the United States. She pursued formal studies in visual design in both Minnesota and Florida, refining her technical skills while continuing to explore her own creative voice.
In 2005, Marty’s artistic accomplishments were celebrated in a one-woman exhibition at the Cape Coral Courthouse in Florida—a milestone that further cemented her reputation as a serious artist. Today, her pieces can be found throughout Florida’s art galleries and commercial buildings, serving as testaments to her evolving artistry and enduring vision.
The Philosophy Behind the Paintbrush
At the core of Marty’s work is a deep respect for both the artistic process and the individual vision of her clients. She views each project as a collaborative partnership, where her creative expertise meets the client’s dreams and desires.
“Art, especially murals, has two sides,” she explains. “As an artist, I can have my own style and flair. But there’s also the side of the viewer. Each client has their own vision. I take that idea and bring it to glorious full-color life. In the end, my goal is to take their breath away—make it even better than they imagined. There is joy in the painting. Each one has a piece of my heart in it.”
This heartfelt philosophy is evident in every brushstroke of her work. Her ability to interpret emotion and personality through color, texture, and composition is what sets her apart from other decorators and muralists. Every wall becomes a canvas, every room a stage for visual storytelling.
Faux Finishes and Beyond
In addition to her celebrated murals, Marty is also widely recognized as a faux finish artist of exceptional skill. Her expertise includes marbleizing columns, painting furniture, and creating specialty finishes for floors and doors that bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment. Whether the goal is to achieve a timeless old-world charm or a sleek, contemporary effect, Marty’s eye for design ensures each finish feels authentic and harmonious within the space.
