Public Art
I have always thought of art in its truest form as being a tool to help others experience the world around them in a new light. Murals and installation art to me are just that! Wether it be painting the side of a building or hanging sculptures in a park, instillation art is such a beautiful way to bring a new experience to a familiar place. In my work I’ve always been interested in working larger and exploring this form of art. Below are some of my first large scale murals that I have been able to be a part of. These have definitely been a pivot points in my work and are for sure the start of something new.
Most reacent instalations:
“Formative Flora”, is a 148 sq feet Vinyl wrap on a pump house building, Located at 598 Lake Park Blvd S Carolina Beach, NC.
When you think of the beach you may first think of the sand and crashing waves, but another big part of the coast are the plants that also inhabit the shorelines. Carolina Beach is full of flora, there is such beauty to be found in the plant’s native to these shores. The land scape is calm yet harsh. with the mellow sea breezes come gusts of salty air that sweep the dunes. The plants that are able to grow in these conditions embody the beach. They are soft, colorful and carefree as they sway in the wind, but they are also bold and resilient. They bring such life and beauty to the sandy land. They help shape the ecosystem and deserve a moment of celebration.
This mural is funded in part by the Grassroots Arts Program grant made possible by the North Carolina Arts Council.
“Atlantic Abundance” 390 sq feet, House paint, acrylic, and spray paint. Located at Atlantic Towers 1615 Lake Park Blvd S, Carolina Beach, NC 28428
When I think of the Atlantic Ocean, I think of all the beautiful things that our emerald waters hold. The sea is a paradise in many ways. Whether you are looking for a way to relax, a delicious meal, or entertainment, the Atlantic Ocean will take care of you. From its deepest depths to its shallow waters, this ocean provides in many forms. With this in mind, I designed this mural to help Atlantic Towers and their guests celebrate the welcoming hospitality that both the Atlantic Ocean and the hotel have.
