Completed Public Art Projects

"Another Day in Paradise" mural, Las Vegas, NV (June 2024; 375 sq ft) This mural will be installed at Paradise Pointe Skate Park and is a skateboarding theme embodying the daring, adrenaline, free-spirit nature that embodies skate culture. Color, movement, and overall composition provide a backdrop which will be appreciated and enjoyed by skaters and fans of skateboard culture. My design will feature skaters doing a multitude of tricks using colors that are vibrant and engaging. Skaters will illustrate the word “Paradise”, where the angles/curves of the letters are ramps, rails, and half pipes. The background landscape will feature pops of plant life, open colorful skies, and the radiance of the sun.

"Generations" mural, Hillsborough Community College - Ybor City Campus, Tampa, FL (July 2023; 2000+ sq ft) 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.
-

Mainstreet Zephyrhills Inc. in partnership with the City of Zephyrhills, FL commissioned me to design and install this mural to represent Zephyrhills which is known as a destination for skydiving (aka “skydive city”). The WWII History Museum, Train Depot Station, golf, Sarah Vande Berg Tennis Center, skate park, and water park, are also featured in this family-friendly mural.
