Briefly describe your experience as an artist or involvement in public art projects:

My experience with public art began in 2019 when my partner and I were commissioned to do an interior mural for a restaurant called “Fire Wings” which was across the street from the college we studied studio art at (Cal state University of San Bernardino). Fire Wings continued to hire us for their various upcoming locations for years to follow. Each mural wraps around the entire higher half of the interior walls of the restaurant and was completed using a scissor lift. Although each design was derived from the same concept, the composition and color palette varied and would adapt to the unique environment of every location we worked on. Since then we completed more than twenty large scale murals for Fire Wings in cities spanning from San Bernardino to San Francisco. This year I’ve had the joy of completing more than five public art works throughout the Inland Empire. All projects were unique from the other, in that they were all painted on completely different surfaces and on a variety of different sizes. My designs always aim to play off the colors, plants and fauna found in the project location while adding an appreciation for 1 Document ID: 233038701312040 H.3.a
Packet Pg. 2377 Attachment: Application_A.Garcia (6461 : REVIEW AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PUBLIC ART REQUEST FOR FUNDING APPLICATION-ALEXANDRA the park’s amenities and creating an artwork the community will feel proud of. I have been a working artist making a living doing what I love for almost six years now and am grateful for every single project I am trusted with. It is my passion to beautify and bring color to the community that uses the park for their family gatherings and outings. I have seen first hand, time and time again the joy it brings the community when the city commissions art at their local parks. Many times as I’m working on these projects, long-time residents stop by to thank me and have a chat about their memories of the park and express how grateful they are to see colorful artwork on a previously damaged, dull colored building. It is my favorite aspect of doing public art, to engage with the community and I always look forward to working on more projects.

Project description:

I would love the opportunity to beautify the restroom building at Gateway Park with a thoughtfully designed mural. The title of my design is “Wish Upon A Star” and features two young donkey portraits in a colorful space-like landscape with shooting stars in the distance. The vivid landscape wraps around the entire building providing full coverage and complimenting the fun playground features of the park. The 2 Document ID: 233038701312040 H.3.a

Packet Pg. 2380 Attachment: Application_A.Garcia (6461 : REVIEW AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PUBLIC ART REQUEST FOR FUNDING APPLICATION-ALEXANDRA Describe the goal/objective of your project:

My aim is to highlight the stunning park features of Gateway Park and create a mural the community can feel a connection with. The colors and theme of the park’s playground amenities have a fun space theme that my mural’s design plays off of. During the weekends, this park is full of family fun and I believe the community will be grateful to the city for the beautification of this restroom building. Shooting stars can be found dashing across the mural and a portrait of an adolescent donkey pays homage to the mascot of this area of Moreno Valley. The title of this mural is “Wish upon a Star” because the donkey character is looking at the stars and making a wish.

I just want to thank the city for creating this amazing opportunity that I have always dreamed of doing since growing up here in my adolescent years. I always knew I wanted to be an artist and back then only thought an opportunity like this was in my head, so this truly means so much to me. My family and friends will be so happy and proud as well as the community that supported me growing up. I am grateful for the art academy when I attended Canyon Springs HS, as well as the AVID and ASB programs I was in which allowed me to express myself creatively and prepared me for my professional artistic journey.

I also want to quickly note that the digital renderings do not fully do the mural's actual final appearance 5 Document ID: 233038701312040 H.3.a

With a deep appreciation for public art and its ability to transform spaces, I have dedicated my career to creating captivating and meaningful art that engage and inspire viewers. Having completed numerous successful projects in diverse settings, I am confident in my ability to bring a fresh and distinctive artistic perspective to Moreno Valley.

I firmly believe that art has the power to connect communities and evoke emotions. Through my public art, I strive to tell stories, capture the essence of a place, and celebrate the unique cultural fabric of a community. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to contribute to the artistic landscape of Moreno Valley, as a local born, raised and currently living in this beautiful progressive city.

My artistic style can best be described as dynamic, vibrant, and visually captivating. I have honed my skills in creating large-scale murals that incorporate intricate details, bold colors, and diverse artistic elements such as my “How To Fly” mural. A massive 2,500 sq ft mural located in the heart of downtown Riverside, CA at the Mariposa Alley.

Collaboration is an integral part of my artistic process. I thrive on engaging with clients, community members, and fellow artists to gather insights and perspectives that inform the mural's concept and design. I am committed to actively involving the community throughout the mural creation process, ensuring that the artwork resonates deeply with the people it represents.

I possess strong project management skills, allowing me to handle all aspects of a mural project, from conceptualization to completion. I am adept at working within deadlines, managing resources efficiently, and adapting my artistic vision to meet the specific requirements of each project. I also have experience coordinating with local authorities and obtaining the necessary permits to ensure a smooth and successful execution.

This objective will ensure that the mural is a true representation of the community it serves.

Foster a sense of inclusivity:

I aim to create a mural that promotes a sense of inclusivity and unity among the diverse population of Moreno Valley. The design should celebrate the city's cultural diversity and serve as a unifying symbol for all residents, welcoming people from different backgrounds to the Recreation Center.

Encourage public art appreciation and awareness:

The mural project will also have an educational component. We intend to organize events, workshops, and guided tours that promote public art appreciation and awareness, helping residents and visitors understand the significance of public art and its role in building a vibrant community.

Engage with the community:

Community involvement is key to the success of this project. We will actively engage local artists, residents, and stakeholders in the creative process, from the selection of the mural design to its execution.

By involving the community, we aim to foster a sense of ownership and pride in the final artwork.

Long lasting impact:

The objective is to create a mural that will stand the test of time. We will use high-quality materials and ensure proper maintenance to guarantee the mural's longevity. This will enable future generations to appreciate and enjoy the mural as an enduring symbol of Moreno Valley's culture and community.

By setting these goals and objectives, the purpose of the mural for the Moreno Valley Recreation Center becomes clear: it is not only a work of art but a tool for community engagement, identity expression, and cultural enrichment.

Briefly describe your experience as an artist or involvement in public art projects:

Ever since I graduated with my bachelors in art at Cal State San Bernardino in 2018, My partner and I have been full time artists ever since. We have successfully completed indoor and outdoor murals all throughout California. We first started making interior murals for restaurants where we would paint large scale artworks wrapping around the entire establishment. A few notable murals we have done are in Rancho Cucamonga in a food hall called Haven City Market, where we painted the walls and ceiling of an entire hallway leading to the restrooms. By utilizing color and perspective we were able to achieve a high quality of interactiveness and picturesque imagery that enhanced the establishment's popularity. I have also completed a few outdoor murals that are located in parks around the city of Pomona. For these murals I took a similar approach to my proposed project by focusing on nature and how it naturally flows 1 Document ID: 233117037664050 H.5.a

Project description:

I am proposing a mural at Westbluff Park, wrapping around the restroom building. The artwork will be primarily abstract, reflecting my previous work. I take pride in this work being abstract, consisting of pure color and form, because it holds the ability to be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere, not being constricted by gender, nationality, or beliefs, through representational content. By keeping my work abstract, it penetrates into people's subjective lives and allows them to relate to it in their own unique way. That said, I also always consider the location of my artwork and its surroundings, which is why I decided to include one of Moreno Valley's most iconic elements into this mural, the beautiful mountains and the famous giant M that so many have ventured out to see up close. These mountains will be in the foreground, while the 2 Document ID: 233117037664050 H.5.a

The organic forms of gradient colors that are woven throughout the artwork act as the binding force that maintains the flow of the final mural. I will be creating this mural in layers of water based spray paint that is a fairly new and healthier alternative to aerosol spray paint, which is not good for the environment. The more this water based spray paint gets used the more it replaces the not so ethical sprays out there.

Describe the goal/objective of your project:

My main goal for this project is to be an acting part of beautifying Moreno Valley to reflect the unseen beauties that are usually hidden inside people. Generally buildings are drab and are overly angular and rigid. Adding some natural curves and color into buildings will help progress infrastructure into a more futuristic and ideal form of creation that will be more balanced with practicality and aesthetically pleasing.

Art can be a driving force that unites and reconnects people with nature and beauty that can improve well being and I strive to spread these positive effects in Moreno Valley. I also hope to encourage younger generations and older generations to explore art and creativity and reap the benefits of being creative. I will make sure to share my process and any knowledge to anyone interested in the mural during its making, being an inviting hand into the wonders of art.

I am an eclectic artist, community organizer, entrepreneur, author and educator (see resume for details).

One of my favorite activities in the past few years has been to organize community murals events, and to create projects that uphold community pride, belonging and history. As an educator I'm particularly interested in murals that speak to the youth. Having the city decorated in positive images and words can make a big difference in the sense of belonging and projection toward a positive future in the life of a young person. Having youth take part in the murals when possible is a great privilege. My major themes are diversity, education, culture and positive motivational messaging. In the last 3 years I have dedicated more time in creating street artwork for the community (see images), one of my mid-term objective is to be called to create murals in schools and school neighborhoods.

In 2021 created L'Expression Creative Studios in Riverside, and recently opened a space in Moreno Valley, to allow youth and adults to come create images that represent them, learn art techniques, the place of culture in the arts, and destress in a motivating and fun environment. I'd like my company to be involved in the expansion of art in the community of Moreno Valley.

Personally, I create series that represent the common people. I use strong symbols such as chains to talk about the issues that hinder people's growth and well-being. I use larger formats acrylic, oil pastel and simple lines.

LXP has dedicated the next decade to providing local communities and their youth opportunities to develop a sense of belonging and accomplishment in their contribution to beautifying their community, as well as getting daily motivation from the messages that will be displayed.

We have started a series of art proposals that will encompass murals, utility boxes, crosswalk and more.

We hope that the community will participate in future design and execution of these pieces.

Our work displays positive and motivational sidewalk messages as youth and their families travel the city daily. This is an ongoing proposal for utility boxes, we continue to study the neighborhood and project images and messages corresponding to the culture and activities surrounding.

We created a city-wide game concept in which each art piece contains a shout out to the city "Moreno Valley Cares, Moreno Valley Moves, Moreno Valley reads.../...". We will invite visitors, tourists and youth to find the messages in scavenger hunts and the like during city-wide celebrations. It also creates a sense of messaging continuity across the community.
