Maren Conrad is a Sacramento-based female muralist and fine artist whose large-scale public works — some exceeding 12,000 square feet — transform dangerous alleys and neglected urban spaces into vibrant community destinations. Her murals, which blend social activism with striking imagery, have appeared across Sacramento at landmarks including the MARRS Building, DOCO, and Ice Blocks, and her work has been featured in the Sacramento Bee, Comstock’s Magazine, and on NPR. Driven by a mission to narrow the urban-planning gender gap, Conrad also creates resin-layered studio paintings exploring themes of loss and renewal, with commissions and press coverage spanning local, national, and international outlets.
