TRU Hilton

Between 2018 and 2023, I worked with Indiewalls & Hilton’s TRU line of hotels to create large-scale bespoke artwork for their lobbies, highlighting local attractions.

I work on the illustrations as digital files, starting with ink drawings that I scan in at high resolution. I add color with vector-based media. Vinyls are printed and installed on site at each hotel at around 20’ x 10’.

Here are some of my favorite pieces:

Jacksonville, Florida

In 2023 I made another mural for a separate hotel in Jacksonville! The client wanted a night skyline scene, quite a different vibe from the sunny version I made in 2021 (scroll down to see it).

Leland, North Carolina

A spring scene showing the famous azaleas of this area and the wide Cape Fear River & the Memorial Bridge. It was my first time illustrating pickleball. I like how the red flowers are the same color as the pool table!

Eugene, Oregon

Vector + ink illustration showing the lush Oregonian landscape and local trail runners.

Indianapolis, Indiana

Map-style illustration showing local landmarks of the downtown area at twilight.

Jacksonville, Florida

I illustrated the skyline of this sunny Floridian waterfront city, as well as several of its local landmarks.

Rapid City, South Dakota

Digital illustration printed at ~10 x 18’ ft, installed summer 2019. Local favorite pastimes (climbing, mountain biking, motorcycle touring) and famous landmarks (Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, and Needles Highway rock formations) are shown.)

St. George, Utah

Digital illustration printed at around 20’ long as a wall-sized mural. Custom made to show scenery, typical activities, and local landmarks around this city near Zion National Park. The hotel opened early in 2019.

Elkhart, Indiana

A center of RV manufacturing in the USA in northern Indiana, I illustrated some outdoor recreational activities you can do in Elkhart, as well as local plants & wildlife.
