Edgecombe Park Placemaking
Edgecombe Park was neglected for years until community leader Cherring Spence had the vision to revitalize the park. I was invited to collaborate with her to reimagine, design and fundraise for the park in 2020. Currently, the park has a beautiful amphitheater and community garden featuring murals, new signage and wayfinding elements to engage current and future residents in the history and stories of the park.

Darley Park Space Transformation
Starting in the spring of 2016, the Darley Park community collaborated with BUILD, NDC and myself to fund a mural at the Darley Park Gateway Park, offering a welcoming entrance to the neighborhood. The park is the heart of this community, a place to gather, play, exist together, and the community has worked hard for years to create what was once vacant lots into a thriving park. In 2018, with further support from the BOPA Transformative Art Grant, in collaboration with TT the Artist and local students we created the Sun Stage Sails project, as part of the Neighborhood Lights Event. Later that year, I was able to return and contribute a second mural flanking the gateway with the help of BOPA, NDC, and a team of community members.
