MEET THE TEAM

*Wylie Caudill*
https://www.wyliecaudill.com/

Wylie Caudill was born and raised in Cynthiana, KY. Having always been interested in the arts, he began his foray into mural painting as a summer project to expand his artistic endeavors beyond the limitations of canvases. He began asking local business owners if he could paint on the side of their buildings. This led to an influx of murals central to the community’s downtown revival.

Caudill is now a prospering mural artist in the Bluegrass region. In his professional career, he has completed projects for large corporations such as Mountain Dew, and Youtube. In addition to these large projects, he has created work for several notable Kentucky organizations including the Forecastle Foundation, Crank and Boom Ice Cream, and LexArts “Horse Mania.” He was recently awarded the Smiley Pete award by the Downtown Lexington Partnership for his involvement and contributions to the city.
