I love painting walls
There is something so amazing about transforming a communal space, of bringing a little more wonder, joy, and color into everyday life.
​
I love getting to tell people's stories on their walls, and getting to invest some love in a community.

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.

The wall is part of an abandoned internment facility which the community converted into a park. 60' x 6'. 2019
