Here is a set of murals that I recently designed for a new bike path/playground that was donated by Basic Research to the Christmas Box House in Salt Lake County, UT. The Christmas Box House is a residential facility for youth who are in state custody and are waiting to be placed in foster care.

Thanks go out to volunteers from Salt Lake Realtors Association, W Talent, University of Utah, LDS Young Women groups, the staff of Christmas Box International, and all others who painted. Special thanks to Sherri Engar of Christmas Box International for excellent work coordinating the project.

In April 2008 I worked with students in my art classes at Mountain Ridge High School to create a 5 foot by 24 foot painted tile mural for Hacienda Healthcare Skilled Nursing Facility in Phoenix.

In Spring 2008, I painted a mural about ethnic diversity in the Boys and Girls Club of Midvale, Utah. The result is a painting that reflects aspects of culture that I admire from various cultures (i.e. Brazilian dancing, Indian filmmaking, etc). There is also a search-and-find element to the mural, to help make it more interactive for the youth.

This room divider was designed and painted with the help of my friend Janelle's children. Photo by Janelle :)
