Illinois Valley Children’s Library

This reading tree sculpture collaboration between Lucas Brinkerhoff and I lives in the Illinois Valley children’s library.

These steel pieces from the reading tree were a whole new world of creating designs to then cut them out with a plasma cutter and grinder. The final step was banging away at them with hammers in a vice to bring out their curvature. I missed paintbrushes for just a minute.

Brilliant colors have emerged on this memorial wall mural commission honoring the late Dr. Edwin Coleman, the civil rights activist, professor and jazz bassist home to Eugene, Oregon. It was incredible to learn about this great man over several months and share his legacy through an illustrated story.

I was asked by Siuslaw Middle School to represent the community and ecology of Florence, Oregon, it's native plants and it's cultural heritage, all while working in some blue and gold Vikings school spirit for their gymnasium.

I was asked to design this mural for the Friendly Area Neighborhood under the theme “Building a Better, More Just and Equitable World”. I created this graphic colorful design after holding workshops with middle school students to brainstorm ideas for a Better World. Guess what they want to see in a better world? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
