This project for Eugene‘s Municipal Court community resource room brought the color and beauty of our native plant community as a metaphor to a space that provides services for those going through the community court system. It is a meeting space for helping folks get a leg up and out of the toughest situations our community faces in homelessness, addiction, employment and mental health. Truly an honor to paint for the fantastic ladies of community court and get to know such a compassionate and powerful team. Thanks to Urban Canvas for coordinating and a successful first time working together!
Featured native plants, include: pacific dogwood, California poppy, salmonberry, columbine, camas, maidenhair fern, sword fern, trillium, fawn lily, delphinium, bleedingheart, checkermallow, monkeyflower
Street painting at the yearly Madonnari street painting event known as Art Along the Rogue. I foraged around my neighborhood and found gorgeous colors and textures in apples, figs, wilting flowers, crinkled leaves and featured my fiddle in the center.
This mural lives in the Wildcraft Ciderworks interior music venue. I was asked to design a mural that included several of the botanicals they infuse into their ciders: rose, aronia, hops, mahonia, fireweed, yarrow, fiddleheads, fern, hawthorne and many more.
This colorful design added vibrancy to a dim grey parking garage for student housing. The bold abstract design features track runners as a nod to Eugene, Oregon’s Tracktown heritage.

I was honored to paint for the new Portland Living Building, a truly incredible space that is paving the way for others to learn from. After a year in the making of outdoor research, site visits and design drafts, I created each mural to represent a local ecoregion. This series brings together my rural Oregon roots & natural history, love of these wild places and bold design inspired by the fibonacci spiral.

Eugene Ballet Mural. It was such an honor to paint these magnificent dancers from the Eugene Ballet Company on this new building with the help of Lucas Brinkerhoff. @lucas_brinkerhoff_art. We studied the muscles and bone structure of these bodies to bring them to life and incorporate them into the abstract background. Thanks to Josh Neckels and Dustrud Architecture for bringing me on to create this custom piece for the new home of so many wonderful arts and culture orgs in Eugene.
