Community Murals

As a community artist making murals, I strive to involve local residents in the creative process, subtly educate the viewer, tell a story, and/or evoke a reaction of joy to color. I have ambitious goals to use my art to enrich the local landscape, promote civic pride, and to raise funds for local causes. This is how my art comes from the heart.

The “Welcome to Clark Lake Mural” completed in 2020 is approximately 19 Ft long by 7 Ft high. I used Rovin red clay RO. 82M and a combination of Amaco, Celebration and Mayco glazes fired at Cone 5.

ANATOMY OF A WING MURAL

The “Anatomy of a Wing” mural completed in 2016 is approximately 4 x 8 feet, hand built from Rovin red clay RO-82. I used Amaco glazes and fired at Cone 6. This educational mural contains a colorful legend design at the bottom identifying the parts of the wing above with the corresponding color. It is also a great photo opportunity. Upon completion, I added border pieces glazed by community members and children from Evergreen Elementary School.
