Upcoming Public Art Mural Projects

 

​"Modesto's 150th Anniversary", Modesto, CA (July 2025)

​

Completed Public Art Mural Projects

​

"Blaze Beyond", Centralia, WA

(June 2025; 100 sq ft) 

Created specifically for the Robert H. and Josephine L. O’Neill Memorial Earth Science Wing of Centralia College, “Blaze Beyond” symbolizes students blazing a path towards the future with courage. The design was a product of collaboration with the Student Advocacy Activities Leadership Team and celebrates the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, specifically connections between students and environment. The integration of different elements including the sun, mountains, trees, water, and waterfalls symbolizes our connections with the natural world as we blaze beyond.

​

"the AMP", Jackson, TN

(April 2025; 1700 sq ft)

 "Jackson Legends" honors the late Jackson-born musicians including Big Maybelle, Joe Hunter, Denise LaSalle, Gil Scott-Heron, Carl Perkins, Sonny Boy Williamson I, W.S. Holland, and Ruby Falls. The overall design forms the letters "AMP" and spans the 3 walls surrounding the staircase. This project was funded by theCO and the City of Jackson, TN. My design concept proposal was selected from a pool of 75+ applicants across the nation. Once selected, the community was involved in selecting/ voting for the specific musicians featured in the mural. The project culminated with a mural unveiling with the late musicians' family members in attendance.

Mural highlights the college's academic offerings and the rich & diverse history of the Ybor City community. This 3-story immersive mural showcases the educational programs including firefighting program, law enforcement academy, automotive technology program, welding, and dance. These images are weaved together against the backdrop of Ybor which was once the cigar capital of the world in the early 1900’s as a result of the Cuban, Spanish, and Italian immigrants, notably Vicente Martinez Ybor and Jose Marti (featured in the mural),who founded the city and brought economic prosperity. Red brick architecture, lampposts, cigars, trolleys, flamenco dancers of the era combined with the colors of the Ybor City flag create a vibrant backdrop for students and visitors to the campus.
