Mural Work

Picture
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.

I'm grateful to have been chosen for the PaintBox program and will be executing a variation of my JP Pride illustration sometime this summer. Stay tuned for process content and final images!

Boynton Yards Picnic Table Mural

Picture
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).

Highland Goffes Falls Elementary School

Final Installed Mural
Picture
One of my first big mural projects was for the elementary school I went to in Manchester, NH. This was designed and painted in 2021 to fit one of their hallways. The design is simple and bold, but incorporates the school's mascot and colors in an engaging way that the teachers and students love. This mural was 12 feet across and used four paint colors and some black to outline the letters. To install this mural I used tracing techniques to transfer the lettering and dogs to the wall.
