A Married Mural Duo
Tandem is the creative partnership of Libby and Josh Nolan-Shafer, a married art duo. Specializing in murals and mural installations, we believe art should be both accessible and immersive. Our work is rooted in community—painting for and with the people who shape the spaces we transform. We create pieces that are meant to be lived with, not just looked at, because everyone deserves an environment that reflects their own sense of beauty.

FAQ’s

Our murals typically take anywhere from one day to two weeks. Very large projects can take months, however!
Do y’all travel?

How much does it cost?
The cost of a mural depends on a number of factors. Size, wall surface material, height of wall (anything over 18ft will require a lift rental!), design complexity and travel expenses. A good starting range for us is about* $20 per square foot.

~More about us~
We are Libby and Josh of Tandem Arts Collective
We started painting murals together in 2021 and haven’t stopped since. Josh has a “formal” art background, with a BFA from Kansas State University. Libby hopped on the art bandwagon and is the conceptual mastermind as well as the public relations expert. We just like hanging out, painting awesome murals with each other and helping individuals and communities come together over art.
