Murals


"Pricklies and Crawlies," 300sf exterior mural for the Burger Stand Albuquerque, at 1916 Central Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106. Two phases of production were completed in September and October 2019, with further phases under discussion for the rest of the building's exterior. Together with the Mural Launch event organized promoter Amberley Pyles, this project directly increased patronage at the Burger Stand by increasing business visibility and community engagement through my contacts with folks on the street while painting.

Coming soon: "Birds and Blooms," 1000sf exterior mural for Little Bird de Papel, at 1222 Mountain Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Production will begin on March 2, 2020.
