Murals are my first love. I love big, expressive painting, I love creating an immersive space, and I love working with people to make something that they feel proud of.

Community Mural Projects
Birdsingers Mural This mural depicts local Cahuilla Birdsingers, and is installed on the Idyllwild Arts Academy campus. I was granted funding for this mural project by the Artist Enterprise Laboratory, and while I was the project manager and designer, painting was a collaborative effort with teachers and students at Idyllwild Arts after listening sessions and direction from Cahuilla community members. I was awarded funding for this project by the Artist Enterprise Laboratory in 2017. 40' x 8'.
Special thanks to Gerald Clarke Jr., David Reid-Marr, and Kyle Thompson.
Volcán Community Mural I facilitated this community mural in Volcán, Costa Rica, after creating the design with the local school classes. Students then painted in the outlines during a series of community painting days. The wall is part of an abandoned internment facility which the community converted into a park. 60' x 6'. 2019
Manos Que Dan, Manos Que Reciben This mural is installed at Catega Kocinare, a culinary school in Cuenca, Ecuador.

This was a part of a larger community education program.15' x 8'. 2017
