PROJECTS
Commissioned Murals — Summer/ June 2020
Unfortunately in 2020 there was racial injustice taking place in the United States and protests began to take place everywhere. In those peaceful protests, there were some who simply wanted to gnore the matter at hand and cause destruction which led to businesses being harassed with broken windows. Downtown businesses were boarded up and wanted to display art over the wood covering the windows. I was commissioned to paint two murals that would bring calmness and peace to the area.
Independent Studio Art Show — July 2021
Due to the pandemic limiting opportunities for myself and other artists, I decided to convert my warehouse studio into a gallery and hold my own art show. My plan is to continue these shows to help other artists find a safe space to share their passion for the arts and network with others. 2nd Independent Studio Art Show — October 2021
After the first successful show, I knew I could continue with more shows.
This show was special as I was fortunate enough to have some well known artists in the community display their pieces in the show. I am looking forward to the next show and having an open call for more artists to enter and have a variety of art styles displayed.
Good Faith Gallery — December 2021
I exhibited art in the recent Good Faith Last Minute Shopper Holiday Show. Where the community could go shop a curated assortment of art, zines, books, and vintage clothing.
Sidro Saturday's — December 2021
I participated as a vendor and exhibited works in the gallery for the December edition of Sidro Saturday's. It is a Saturday evening where the community can come out for a chance to see beautiful art pieces and purchase art, crafts, and food from different vendors.
Create Chula Vista City Hall — December 2021 - February 2022 I was contacted bv Chula Vista Citv Hall officials to see if I was interested in exhibiting my art in the main lobbv of citv hall for the Create Chula Vista program series that features local performing and visual arts.
