The Obama Campaign in the Latino community asked me to create a mural of Obama to encourage the Latino community to vote. I created this mural in four days, guerrilla muraling, with the help of volunteers and the community of Hope Street in Philadelphia. This project was definitely a collaborative project. More than 50 volunteers helped paint and clean the abandoned lot where there mural is painted. This mural is a documentation of this historic moment.
This mural commemorates the 95th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. The design is a combination of ideas from many troops that participated in submitting their concepts for the design. The mural design depicts the stages of a Girl Scout.
Past and present images of Girl Scouts were used in the design. A total of 450 girl scouts participated in the painting of the mural. The mural was sponsored by the Mural Arts Program.
This mural represents African-American jazz musicians from Philadelphia that have left an impact on jazz history. Images include portraits of Ethel Waters (who was a jazz singer that created the first jazz record label for African Americans called Black Swan) as well as John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Shirley Scott, Mickey Roker, and others that were influential in Philadelphia's jazz history. Co-designed with artist Henry Bermudez & sponsored by the Mural Arts Program.
I was commissioned by the Lehigh Valley Mural Project to design and create this mural in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I conducted interviews with members of the neighborhood and collected images that are familiar to the community. The mural celebrates unity, history and the diversity that exists in the community.
