Murals
Quinton Elementary School, VA
Local landmarks and wildlife span two double-height walls in this new elementary school. Designed digitally and printed on vinyl, I worked with Richmond-based Moseley Architects to create this major artwork which was unveiled in 2023.︎ ︎ ︎
500 Broadway, Seattle
An impression of the First Hill neighborhood in Seattle, rendered in sunset colors on the back of a residential building. Hand painted in acrylics in 2022.︎ ︎ ︎
Wildflowers of Elliott Bay
I was commissioned by the non-profit Downtown Seattle Association to make some artwork to brighten up the neighborhood. The direction was bright colors + lots of plants, so I made a bunch of drawings from observation along the nearby Elliott Bay waterfront trail. then I took them to my studio to scan, compile, and color them digitally. It was printed on vinyl and installed on a vacant storefront.︎ ︎ ︎
Dandelions on Mt. Rainier
Created for Hill House Mural, a rotating art wall. Muralists were commissioned to create an image on the 15’ wide detached garage wall in Capitol Hill, Seattle; each one lasted for three months before being covered by the next artists’ work. The endeavor ended in 2021.This was made during the early COVID lockdowns in May 2020. I wanted to transport Seattlites to a calming place, like the wildflower fields in the nearby Cascade mountains.
