This mural on the south wall of Livery Restaurant was completed in October of 2016 by Justin Olson, local artist and owner of Olson Paint Studios, LLC. This imaginative mural is representative of Olson’s colorful and creative designs in addition to the buoyant spirit of the Massachusetts Avenue Cultural District.

Having studied entrepreneurship and studio art at Ball State University, Justin Olson started Olson Paint Studios in the spring of 2002. The concept of Olson Paint Studios is to take customer’s decorative paint ideas and make them come to life. Catering to customers looking for fine painting in their homes and businesses, Olson Paint Studios has completed a number of projects around the city of Indianapolis, particularly commercial murals and signage.

Insider’s Note:  The south wall of Livery was painted a base color long before Justin was asked to paint the mural.  The condition of the brick wall was so delicate, that sandblasting the old paint was not an option.  If you look in one of the photographs that shows the second story of the building, you can see where Justin hand painted every brick to make it appear to be original brick colors.
