Blossoms in Motion: A Floral Cascade
This mural, inspired by the city’s proposed landscape designs and the unique contours of the wall, is designed to create a welcoming space that fosters social interaction and celebrates artistic expression within the Brighton community. Stretching approximately 170 feet along a gracefully winding wall, the mural invites both residents and visitors to come together, engage in meaningful conversations, and appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds them.
This mural was a collaborative effort between the Brighton Arts and Culture Commission (BACC) and the Brighton City Council. You can find this mural at the St. Paul Pocket Park (at the corner of W. Grand River and St. Paul Street) in Brighton, Mi.

They Will All Be Dreaming
This mural was created as part of a collaboration with the City of Ann Arbor and the A2AC: Ann Arbor Arts Council.
The inspiration for "They Will All Be Dreaming" stemmed from a desire to bring a touch of escapism into the everyday environment. I was fascinated by the idea of finding solace and inspiration in the sky, particularly during times of stress and uncertainty. The title, "They Will All Be Dreaming," is a nod to daydreaming, introspection, and the ethereal beauty of nature. This mural is a reminder that even amidst the chaos of life, there's a tranquil world above, waiting to ignite our imagination and provide a sanctuary for dreamers and thinkers alike.
You can find this mural in the meeting chambers of the Ann Arbor City Hall.
