Eutaw Marshburn Elementary, to be completed Spring 2011.

Found on Hotel Indigo in Miami, this mural backs up to the pool area and mimics the shadows on the wall in the evening.

Mural in newly-renovated, world renowned streetball court, "The Dome". The Dome has been featured in various NIKE ads, video games and international magazines.

2 murals along the Waverly Giant Supermarket. Commissioned by the Baltimore Office for Promotion and Arts and selected by various Waverly committee board members, this project was executed in the summer of 2008 with help from youth of the Better Waverly Community Arts Center. The panels concept revolves around a before and after theme. The first panel is raw and deconstructed, filled with hands grabbing at icons of Waverly. This panel speaks of the basic and beautiful element Waverly has to offer. The hands symbolize the people of the community. The second panel hold the same icons as the first but formed as a symmetrical, constructed cityscape, showing the potential when neighbors work together. Three other muralist contributed murals to the same supermarket.

Part of an exhibition in DC. used asa backdrop for hung paintings.

In the Summer of 2007, I was commissioned by the Jones Falls Watershed Association to paint a mural on a bridge crossing over I-83. This bridge was part of the Jones Falls Trail and connected the Druid Hill Park to Wymann Park. The maing point of the project was to inform people that in fact, they were on a designated path as well as lighten up the space. The result, was a rich, lively and bright mural full of trees, people running, riding bikes, birds and all many other icons of park recreation. The mural was executed with help from students of Baltimore School for the Arts. The Jones Falls mural was covered by local evening news as well as the Urbanite. Each side was 88' long divided by 11 panels. This photo was taken while a runner passes by. That is NOT his shadow on the wall, nor was this shot planned!

Commissioned by a nearby church, this mural brings a modern interpretation to the ancient tradition of communion.

The images were painted on panels, then installed along the 4 sides of the concrete barriers.

Each of the four sides had a different theme. In the foreground, shapes resembling train tracks and bridges, mirror the elements of the surrounding community. Behind, you can see a night-themed side, which highlights nightlife as well as the peace of a wintery night in the Philadelphia neighborhood.

Blotches of color turn into leaves and graphic stripes turn into power lines.

The other two sides stay in the same color palette, while reflecting the greens of the adjacent park and the maroons and bricks of the rowhomes.

This detail shows how I enjoy creating work that blends into the surrounding environment as much as possible.

One of the parallel aluminum fences was stolen before I was brought on the project and replaced with an ugly chain-linked fence. I painted the fence in a gradient of four colors which reflect the colors of the imagery on the other side of the sidewalk. This element assists pedestrians to really "enter" the work.

Many residents cross into the park from a path below the mural. Painting the fence also helped it blend into the mural instead of detracting from the work.

The first completed panel (opposite the main wall) showed a man hanging out on his steps with a beverage. Now how Baltimore is that!?!

Cars rush through this overpass, which played a large roll in deciding to go "more minimal" in the imagery's detail.

Near the middle of the mural, I placed this 30' tall figure, an homage to all the butchers, from all over the world, that used to fill the streets of Highlandtown.

The closest panels to Greektown, honoring St. NIck's. More than a church, St. Nick's is the thriving community center. This image, gives a good perspective to the size of the individual panels.

The western most end of the main wall was filled with colorful bands, rising and falling along the mural. This was to be an abstract representation of the diversity of Highlandtown. As the mural progresses, the colorful bands turn to a blue Greek key.

Don't worry, we had our lane blocked!

This dancer, clad in traditional dress, was over 50' in length.

Connection" was first shown as 8 new paintings, installed 2 murals, and an artist talk at RTKL's Baltimore headquarters. The show, and pieces, spoke of mankind and our longing to connect with something outside of ourselves, greater than ourselves. All figurative studies, in muted, neutral tones, the figure lies in some relation to an abstract band of color running through each piece.

each 48" x 24" oil, latex, ink on board From the series titled "Life", comprised of figures with trees, flowers, bushes etc. growing from the flesh. Thematically I was exploring the good that exists with the bad, the lift from death, in the midst of my grandmother's passing.

16"x 16" oil, latex on board I created 22 paintings for the new Hilton Baltimore Convention Center Hotel. The names of the Hilton Baltimore ballrooms and meeting rooms focus on noteworthy individuals either from Baltimore or who made an impact on Baltimore. A portrait of each individual was created to hang outside each room. These are not typical historical portraits. The images are not derived from any particular photograph, but rather a compilation of form and pose that portrays a certain character and evokes an individual temperament. I focused on bringing the past into a current context, muddling my modern style with a few hundred years of history.
