Murals & Public Art


Art created for spaces, communities, and stories.

From large-scale public murals to intimate spaces inside family homes.

Each mural begins with the people and stories that make a place meaningful. I create site-specific artwork inspired by the personality, memories, and imagination of the people who live, work, and gather there.

Waypoint Lounge - Digital Future Mural

Sapulpa, Oklahoma

Created for Waypoint Lounge in downtown Sapulpa, this large-scale exterior mural was inspired by a vision of our increasingly digital future, The design was awarded Second Place in mural competition, transforming the gaming lounge exterior into a bold, colorful celebration of technology, creativity, and imagination.

Tropical Poolside Mural

Phoenix, Arizona

Created for a family home in Phoenix, this tropical poolside mural was designed to transform the backyard into a colorful, personal escape. Playful details were added especially for the family - including a favorite beer - while the name of their beloved daughter who had passed away was painted on the boat as a quiet memorial tribute.

What began as a tropical scene became something more personal - a mural filled with family memories, personality and love.

A Tribute to a Favorite Film

Conway, Arkansas

Created for a client in Conway, Arkansas, this large-scale interior mural was inspired by one of their favorite films, Hook. The room was transformed into a cinematic world filled with imagination and adventure.

And yes - the whole scene was framed between Robin Williams' giant legs! 😆

A Garden at the End of the Hall

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Created for a couple in their Oklahoma City home, this mural transforms the end of a hallway into a small garden filled with flowers and climbing vines. Designed to create a sense of depth and openness, the painted scene gives the illusion that the hallway continues into a peaceful outdoor space.

A Comunity on the Wall

Hillcrest Medical Center - Tulsa, Oklahoma

What began as a mural featuring a small group of hospital leaders soon became something much bigger.

As employees saw the painting taking shape, more and more began asking. "Can you add me too?" One by one, I photographed and painted them into the scene until the mural became a colorful portrait of the people who made up the hospital community.

One especially enthusiastic employee made sure she wasn't left out - so naturally, she ended up right in the center, riding a broom! 😆

When the original mural eventually had to be removed, a General Manager purchased a large canvas so I could recreate and preserve the artwork. What began on a hospital wall became a lasting memory of the people who shared that place and time.



Before the Mural .... There Were Doodles 😆

Before the Hillcrest mural began, I used the enormous wall as a giant sketchbook to get a feel for the scale. Soon it was covered with colorful doodles, Japanese words, and spontaneous little thoughts - including " I want ramen" and "I'm hungry!"😂

Where My Mural Journey Began

Phonenix, Arizona

Some of my earliest mural work in America began in the home of a grandmother in Phoenix, Arizona. What started as painting walls became something much more personal - a way to preserve family memories, love, and the people she carried in her heart.

An Angel in the Gargen

Created in loving memory of her granddaughter, this mural imagines her as an angele in a peaceful landscape surrounded by light, water and nature.

A Family Journey

Inspired by a family trip to Switzerland, this mural brings generations of the family together in one imagined landscape. Jesus watches over them from above, while rays of light gently illuminate her late husband and granddaughter - loved ones who remained very much a part of the family's story.

These early murals taught me that a wall could be more than a surface to decorate. It could hold a family's story, memories, and love.
