Honan Sign Company

This mural was painted in honor of Stevie Honan, who died in 2020. A larger than life personality, he touched many in his hometown. Work on the mural often paused as passing community members approached to tell stories of Stevie. Between volunteers and volunteer story-tellers, the mural directly involved over 35 community members. Special thanks to Kevin Cash.

Climbing with Color

Portable Mural

Latest Install at YWCA, Bar Harbor, ME

This mural was painted to honor those Mainers helping their neighbors during Covid-19. I was particularly inspired by seeing the community of my hometown come together and offer food, books, toys, and help of all kinds to those struggling. A portable mural, it was last displayed at the YWCA in Bar Harbor, ME.

Witham Family Hotels

Bar Harbor, ME.

4ft by 6 ft

2019

A Dr. Seus themed portable mural made for the Witham Family Hotels.

I designed and facilitated a mural for Clark Elementary School in Charlottesville, Virginia. The project was part of my work as a teaching artist for the Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, whose smART Kids program linked artists with after school programs. I lead an estimated 30 students, between the ages of five and ten years old, in painting a temporary mural for their cafeteria over the course of five weeks.

The mural was based on life-sized self-portraits I helped the students create. The mural-to-be was cut up into 1ft square cardboard sections, and each student painted a random selection of the pieces over the course of the following sessions. Once all the sections were painted, we put them all together like a large-scale puzzle, secured the pieces, and mounted them to the wall of the cafeteria.
