“SUPERBLOOM” IN BLOOMFIELD
Commissioned by the Bloomfield Department of Parks and Recreation
I had created a Superbloom mural in Princeton, NJ, but it was only in a temporary space. When the request for proposals came through from my hometown of Bloomfield, I thought it would be lovely to create another Superbloom in a permanent spot. I also just loved the idea of superBLOOM in BLOOMfield! My proposal was reviewed by the Department of Cultural Affairs Sub-Committee and was unanimously selected for its vibrancy and unique style.

“COLORFUL CORAL”
Commissioned by the City of Asbury Park and The Asbury Park Arts Commission
I wanted to create a mural with a beach theme that would spark joy all the way from the boardwalk to the street. Having grown up in NJ, the shore was always a day trip away and being on site brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. Thrilled to have worked in this space.

“SUPERBLOOM” in PRINCETON
Commissioned by the Arts Council of Princeton and sponsored by Bumble
For Princeton, I wanted to create a bright, playful, colourful mural that represents Spring. The idea of a flower field came to mind and was the jumping off point for this project. In my drawings, paintings, and ceramics, I try to explore joy in the creation process and how my finalized art may evoke feelings of happiness in the viewer. This was a temporary mural in a space that switches out every 3 months for a different artist to create something.

“ART TAKES THE BENCH: THE SPIRIT OF NEW MILFORD”
Commissioned by NNJCF, Bergen County Division of Cultural & Historic Affairs and NJ State Council on the Arts
I had so much fun painting this bench alongside the citizens of New Milford as a part of their National Night Out event. This bench will be going in front of a children’s school, so it felt really special to paint it alongside the students who go there, as well as many alumni of the school. The original concept was to have everyone fingerprint in the shapes, but the towns people were SO creative with their mark making that we let them listen to their inner artists and flow.

The Other Art Fair is setting itself the challenge of creating a Greener Future. Teaming up with Broadcaster and Head of Collections at Soho House Kate Bryan as curator, they have programmed a year-long series of events, initiatives and exhibitions to take the steps to becoming more sustainable. In their efforts to join the greener side at our May Brooklyn edition, they hosted a number of exciting new features, including a Feedback Wall they asked me to paint.

Commissioned by The Township of Bloomfield
The “Stay Strong” Mural is an iconic piece of art in downtown Bloomfield, so when I was asked to restore it to it’s originally glory, I was happy to! This was my first restoration project of another artist’s work and I believe we honored the original design while bringing back the vibrancy it once had.
