Hand-painted murals and contemporary design. Scottish roots. Florida soul.
The
Artisan
Of Emotions
I paint feature walls for businesses and homes that want to be remembered. Based in Dunedin, Florida — available for commissions anywhere. If the wall is right, I’ll come to it.
ABOUT
I'm Gary Baillie — the hand behind Baillie Creative.
I’m originally from Glasgow, Scotland. I moved to the United States in 1997 and brought the accent with me. These days I’m based in Dunedin, in the Tampa Bay area, painting murals for restaurants, museums, offices and homes.
I’ve been painting by hand for over 25 years — old-world techniques, modern finishes. Venetian plaster, taught to me by a third-generation Italian master, and faux finishes that can mimic marble, wood grain and plaster.
You’ll find my work in Bon Appetit Restaurant, Lucky Lobster Restaurant, Clear Sky Draught Haus and The Collection on Palmetto Museum — and in private homes all over Tampa Bay.
Underneath it all, I studied colour therapy and the psychology of colour — how the colours around us change how we feel. That quiet science sits under every wall I paint.
Scottish work ethic. Sleeves rolled up. Work that gets done.
What Do You Want To See?
Your Vision, My Art On Your Wall.
My sketch connects with what you’re thinking and feeling. Your project is safe with me — your values, your colours, your textures. My mission: I paint what you feel. Your walls say the rest.
— Gary Baillie
SERVICES
VENETIAN PLASTER & CREATIVE FINISHES
The old Italian finish — depth, movement, and a soft stone sheen no paint can imitate. Trained by a third-generation Italian master. Beyond plaster: creative textures, repairs and restoration of existing finishes, and the unusual jobs — bring me the one you’re not sure anyone can do. If I can’t do it justice, I’ll tell you straight.
FEATURE WALL
MURALS
For breweries, cafés, restaurants, boutiques — and homes that refuse to be ordinary. Designed with you, painted by hand, built to be photographed and remembered. Every project is quoted firm before a brush is lifted — no surprises, ever.
COMMISSIONED
CANVASES
A painting made for one person, one wall, one story. Portraits, pets, places, heritage pieces — designed with you, painted by hand, made to be handed down. Commissions open by conversation; every piece is one of one.
LIVE EVENT
PAINTING
Weddings, festivals, launches. I paint your event as it happens, in front of your guests — and the finished piece is yours to keep. Entertainment and heirloom in one.
WORKSHOPS &
PAINT NIGHTS
Bring your people; I’ll bring the paint. Guided group sessions for breweries, cafés, parties, and team nights — everyone leaves with a finished piece of their own and the memory of making it. No experience needed; that’s the whole point.
GUEST
SPEAKING
Everyone loves a good story. Mine runs from a Scottish childhood to a working life with paint and plaster, and the psychology of colour — told the way I paint: honestly, and with a few laughs. Talks for art groups, schools, clubs, and business gatherings.
THE PROCESS
01
THE CONVERSATION
We start with your vision. What do you want to see? What emotion do you want to feel? What inspiration excites you? This deep dive shapes everything — it’s where the Artisan of Emotions earns the name.
02
THE SKETCH
Ideas become a sketch you can react to. A non-refundable deposit, set by the specifics of your job, opens this phase.
03
THE AGREEMENT
A firm quote and an agreed timeframe, in writing. Prices reflect real value for money — and your unique investment. Payments fall in three parts: to begin, at the midpoint, and on completion.
04
THE PAINTING
Your space is protected before a brush comes out — every surface covered, every splash accounted for. You get regular updates as the work develops.
05
THE FINISH
Highest quality materials, always — and murals and canvases are sealed with a Modern Masters clearcoat as the final touch.
06
THE GUARANTEE
Iron-clad: the workmanship matches the vision. And exceeds it.
GALLERY
Every wall here started as a conversation.

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
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!
— John Wm. Barger
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.
— Dr. James Lani
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.
