Moving to the Light
17th Street in downtown Wheeling, WV 27 x 25 ft. Completed in October, 2016 My collaborators for this mural were art therapist Bianca Benson and the adults with mental illnesses that she works with at the Marian House in Wheeling. The people at Marian House came up with the ideas for the design, and we hosted a Community Paint Day, where over 60 Wheeling residents came to fill in the first layers. |

Oil City: Being Completed E. Front Street, downtown Oil City, PA 23 x 26 ft. Completed in June, 2016 This mural was one of 3 projects sponsored by the Oil City Main Street Program in an effort to liven up the downtown area. Oil City has been introducing various arts programs to provide an economic and cultural boost to the area. The design shows a diverse group of people collaborating to 'fill in' their town. |
Current Projects:
-- In early 2018 I'll start working with the Community Arts and Reintegration Project (CARP) on a community mural for Mount Pleasant, PA. This project, spearheaded by Professor Tim Holler of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, will involve youth from Westmoreland Co. Juvenile Probation.
-- Finishing up the semester of teaching 2-D Design and Art History at Westmoreland County Community College.
-- Working on pieces for my Innerscapes series. Recently exhibited solo at Point Five Gallery in Etna. I'll continue
to submit proposals to galleries
-- Finishing work on a community mural for Eastminster Church in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
We recently had 4 painting sessions with church members to fill in areas of the mural.
-- Finishing my artist residency working with high school students at the Allegheny County Jail.
-- Work will begin soon on murals for both Apollo, PA and Etna, PA. I'll work with local high school art students
and teachers on the design and completion of these murals, which will be focal points of each town's
central commercial area.
