This is a mural painted in CARE’s Atlanta Global Innovation Hub. The mural acts as signage to designate space for the hub and is visible when you walk into the CARE building and look straight down the hall. The design is simple and bold and uses an arrow in a subtle way to show the direction to go to find the hub activity.

In December 2018 I was a chosen artist for Colony Square’s annual Festivity + Trees project, only instead of painting a tree, I painted an 8’X8’ barricade mural! These murals lined the construction area of Colony Square during their renovations, adding some color and beauty to the temporary space. The prompt for the mural was open as long as it was festive, so I wanted to do my signature lettering with an inspiring phrase for the holiday season. I completed the look with holly and berries of course!

I was chosen to participate in the third round of the Stacks Squares mural project! I was one of ten artists selected to paint a 7'x7' mural in Cabbagetown on Carroll St. My piece was called ‘GRRRL POWER’ and I wanted to highlight what was going on in the news at the time with so many men being called out for abuses of power. I wanted to remind women that we are powerful creatures, just like the tiger depicted in my mural.

The goal of this project is to involve neighborhood artists, creating stronger bonds between between the diverse City of Atlanta neighborhoods of Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, and Old 4th Ward. We are currently seeking paint donations, and raising money for artist stipends. For more information, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/stackssquares

I was so honored to be chosen by the Fourth Ward Alliance Board to be a participating artist in the Old Fourth Ward Power Box Beautification project. My design was chosen along with 18 other artists to cover boxes throughout the neighborhood. For my design I wanted to create something that celebrates the neighborhood and told you proudly where you are. I lettered the name of the neighborhood onto each side and combined it with stylized flowers and leaves to emphasize the beauty and nature in the Old Fourth Ward.

Thanks to the City of Atlanta for sponsoring this project! You can find my box at the corner of Glen Iris and North Avenue in front of Dancing Goats coffee.

Take yourself on your own walking tour of the neighborhood and see all 19 boxes on the map here.

This mural was created in CARE’s Atlanta Global Innovation Hub — which convenes people and organizations dedicated to defeating poverty by achieving social justice and equity everywhere. The mural is meant to inspire the people in the co-working space to collaborate, have fun and create things together. Because of the hub’s focus on the Atlanta community, the skyline was integrated into this message as well. The background is a chalkboard so rotating illustrations and ideas can be featured on the wall at different times.

I got the chance to participate in the first Smyrna Art Stroll and makeover a recycling bin live at the event. The goal was to encourage recycling by beautifying the cans and the city. I wanted to emphasize the reason why people should recycle and remind them to love the planet because it’s our only home. I painted the can to look like the earth and then hand lettered phrases on it in white. It was so fun much being part of the event and painting as people walked past!

Livable Buckhead wanted 6 plastic bins to be customized for Recycling, Trash, and Compost, for use at their many events. My goal for the bins was to make them educational as well as beautiful. I adapted a design from a previous recycling bin that reads ‘Love the planet’ and painted that on two sides of every bin. Then each bin was customized with labels, icons, an item list and illustrations of accepted materials. The bins were color coordinated for easy identification, with yellow for Compost, blue for Recycling, and Green for Trash.
