About Krysia Badass
"Don't give me a coloring book.
Give me the blank page.”
- Krysia Badass
Badass isn't just a name. When something doesn't work for everyone, it's not a limitation, but an opportunity for something better.
Krysia sees your difficult spaces. She solves them with beautiful designs.
Krysia Badass is a Kansas City mural artist, Union-trained commercial painter, paper-hanger, and the founder of Krysia Badass Art (KBA) based in the heart of the Crossroads district.
She started selling artwork in 2020 with no expectations. Within three years, she was painting large-scale murals across Kansas City. Her largest project to date is 1800 square feet of design. She hasn't slowed down since.
Today, KBA has completed 30+ murals across three states for food trucks, financial firms, home improvement stores, warehouses, residences, and more. From Shawnee Mission to North Kansas City, the Plaza to Blue Springs, her work spans the metro and beyond.
Each work is custom with no repeats or shortcuts. Every surface gets treated like it matters — because it does.
In 2025, Krysia joined the IUPAT Union as a commercial painter, sharpening the technical side of her craft alongside some of the most skilled commercial painters and paper hangers. That precision shows up in every mural she creates in intentional lines, lasting finishes, and the way she approaches every project from the start.
She was self-taught first, Union-trained second — and that combination is exactly what sets her apart.
How Krysia Works
Every mural starts with a conversation. Krysia works directly with each client to understand the space, the vision, and the story worth telling, then brings it to life using high-quality paints, professional painting expertise, and OSHA safety standards on every job.
Not every surface is the same, and she gets that.
Whether it's an interior accent wall, an exterior building, a food truck, or something no one's thought to paint before, Krysia approaches each project with fresh eyes and zero templates.
The result isn't just a mural, it’s a story.
