Before you book
Frequently asked questions
A starting point for how Katie works. Every project is custom — she’ll confirm details on your quote. Still unsure? Send an inquiry or email katiepaigeartco@gmail.com.
Booking
How do I book Katie?
Use the project inquiry for windows, murals, and custom work. Party and event banners have a shorter banner form. Balloons have a balloon form. Doormats, cutting boards, and the color-your-own holiday banner are on gifts & extras.
You can also email katiepaigeartco@gmail.com. You’ll hear back within 24–48 hours. A form doesn’t hold a date until Katie confirms it.
What should I send with my request?
A clear photo of the wall, window, or room helps more than anything. The inquiry has a spot for those, and a separate spot for inspiration — screenshots, colors, or other work you want it to feel like. Include the town, roughly how big the surface is, the vibe or theme, and any hard date (opening, party, holiday).
Links to Instagram or Pinterest work too. If you don’t have the photos yet, send the form and reply to Katie’s email with them.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you know the date. Simple nearby windows can sometimes fit sooner; murals and busy party weekends fill up. Banner requests around birthdays and holidays go fast — send the form even if you’re still deciding on colors.
Katie will tell you what’s realistic when she replies.
Which days are open for windows and murals?
These days are open for windows and murals: . Banners are booked separately.
Katie hasn’t listed open window and mural days right now. Send an inquiry and she’ll say what fits. Banners are booked separately.
Send an inquiry to ask for a date. The form does not hold it until she confirms.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Usually yes — a deposit holds your date on the calendar. The rest is due when the work is finished (or at pickup for banners). She’ll confirm the amount on your quote.
Window painting
Does window paint wash off?
Seasonal storefront work is meant to come off. Katie paints on glass so the design can be washed when the season changes — that’s how shops go from summer parrots to fall leaves on the same panes.
Removal of the current set is part of the job unless you tell her otherwise.
How long do painted windows last?
They’re built for a season, not forever. A holiday or summer set typically stays up until you’re ready for the next story. Sun, weather, and how often the glass is cleaned all affect how it looks over time.
If you want something more permanent, that’s a mural or sign conversation, not seasonal glass.
How long is she on site for windows?
Many storefront sets are a day on site; a full front with lots of panes can take longer. She’ll give a schedule with the quote so you know when the sidewalk will have a painter and when the glass is done.
Is there a holiday window referral?
Refer a friend or local business: when they book their first holiday window painting, you get $25 off your next window painting and they get $25 off their first one ($50 total). Valid for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas windows through December 31, 2026. Referral must be a new client; have them mention your name when they book.
Murals
How long does a mural take?
It depends on wall size, detail, and whether it’s indoor or outdoor. Small accent walls can be a short run of days; larger or more illustrated walls take longer, including design time before paint hits the wall.
Outdoor work also waits on weather. Katie will sketch a schedule once she sees photos of the space.
Indoor vs outdoor — what’s different?
Indoor murals are about the room: furniture, light, and a palette that still feels like yours. Outdoor murals need extra prep for the wall (smooth, brick, concrete) and paint that can handle Southern Oregon weather.
Share whether the wall is inside or out, and what it’s made of, on the inquiry.
Balloons
How do I order balloons?
Use the balloon form for clusters, arch and backdrop rentals, full arches, half loops, full loops, columns, stacks, walls, and name balloons. You can also add balloons on the banner form. Prices are the balloon menu.
Balloons blown up for you and ready to pick up. No install or delivery. Balloons only — does not apply for rentals.
A 50% non-refundable retainer secures your date. The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days before your scheduled date. Rush orders (less than 15 days) may incur extra fees. You’ll hear back within 24–48 hours. Sending a form does not secure the date by itself.

Travel, weather & the area
Where does Katie paint?
She’s based in the Rogue Valley and regularly paints in Medford, Ashland, Talent, Grants Pass, Phoenix, Central Point, Jacksonville, White City, and nearby Southern Oregon towns. See public pieces on the art map.
Do you charge for travel?
Nearby Rogue Valley jobs are the norm. Farther sites are quoted with travel included so there are no surprises. Put the job address (or town) on the inquiry so she can plan the trip.
What if the weather is bad?
Outdoor walls and some window days need a decent stretch of dry, workable weather. If rain, extreme heat, or smoke gets in the way, Katie will reschedule. Indoor murals and banners aren’t weather-dependent.
