Mural work combines many of the things I enjoy about my art and the work I do with YellowLeaf Design. Plus with experience painting homes commercially through my family's contracting business, I can recycle my knowledge for preparing and painting a space that will last for a while.
Murals can share powerful messages or just bring some color into a space. Either way, I think they are an exciting way to show that the community cares about their space and creating a welcoming and joyful environment for its residents and those passing through. |
The goal of this 2022 project was to add some local artwork and pops of color to a newly developed community space in Somerville, MA. With this broad goal in mind, I chose to develop and execute this pond-scape concept.
I grew up on a pond in NH so we spent a lot of time exploring all the lily pads and pond creatures in the summer. These memories were fueled by a playfulness and curiosity that I tried to translate into this design. I chose saturated colors that added depth with their contrast, but ultimately unified the design with their similarities. Each layer of this design incorporates the different life and ecosystems in a pond so the longer you look at it, the more you discover. One mythical presence in our pond is a huge turtle that only a few people have seen so I added her to this design too (look closely for some deep purple under the lily pads). |
