Artyface was founded by Maud Milton in 1999 to provide high quality, legacy public art. Community involvement is integral to our projects: we estimate we work with 4000 + people per year, bringing people of all ages and abilities together to create art that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

‘It was a pleasure to work with Maud on the creation of a work of public art for Archway, Islington. Community and democratised art are central to her artistic worldview. Maud was extremely collaborative and hard working. We worked together on ideas, focussed on solutions when things needed development, and when designs were finalised, I trusted her and her team completely to deliver results, all which exceeded expectations. Years of experience have made Maud a trusted professional. There were so few times I felt I needed to check the progress because she regularly informed me. What’s more, I knew the work was in the safest pair of hands.’

“I think they’re absolutely fantastic. I love the bird theme and it just brightens my walk every time I walk past it. If you’ve got local people working on things like this then they will have a real sense of pride in that they can see what they’ve accomplished. It’s going to be there for such a long time as well, the longevity of them are really important.
This section of Church Hill a couple of years ago was just not anywhere near as lovely and as welcoming as it is now. The fact that they’ve pedestrianised this part and that these murials are here is the icing on the cake really.”
