HOLE IN THE WALL
August 2022 venturing back up to Knoxville, I created a mural for Hole in the Wall Pizza to create a mural for their kitchen. I was challenged to create a vibrant mural that would compliment the other mural (that I also painted) behind the brewery bar. This was a very fun three day project!
CRAFTY BASTARD WEST BAR
June 2021 I headed up to Knoxville to create my second mural for Crafty Bastard. This new mural was for the soon to be open West Crafty Bastard, behind the brewery bar. The space was huge and a bit dark with the burgundy wall paint, so it was up to me to create a vibrant piece!
TREEHOUSE STUDIO: PENLAND
During the summer of 2019 I was taking Anthony Lee’s ‘Scaling Up’ mural class. I didn’t imagine that we would be creating two murals this session and my idea was selected as the second concept! My first time as lead artist on a mural was difficult to balance, but I couldn’t have gotten the work done without the team. I got to leave my mark of a truly special place.
HANGING IN THE HOPS
I’ve had some great nights in Knoxville Tennessee and most of them involve the Crafty Bastard Brewery! The first thing I did to get off 2019 was to travel up to the brewery and paint a mural that depicted the community around the area. Crafty Bastard is a brewery that insists on being an open and safe space for all visitors, aiming to push forward a positive community in the craft beer industry of Tennessee.
MILK LAB: CARY
When I was tasked to create a mural for Milk Lab in Cary NC, I wanted to illustrate the fresh flavors used in their menu. Capturing the roll of the milk to ice cream with fluid line work was a fun challenge. The bursting of the fresh fruit from behind the lettering represents how flavorful the ice cream tastes!
FIVE POINTS MURAL PROJECT: GREENVILLE
In 2015, the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge launched this public art program with grant funding from the West Memorial Fund. A request for proposals at the national level was released for artists to apply to have their artwork chosen to be reproduced. I created an illustration of a frantic rabbit to show the tenacity, perseverance, and vision of Greenville, NC.
ARTPOP BILLBOARD: 2015
In 2015 I was selected as one of 20 artists for a public arts competition. My work appeared on billboards around the Charlotte region. The mission of Artpop is to expose art to communities in everyday aspects and provides accessibility to the arts for all.
