Hacienda Healthcare

2008-07-11T06:15:00.001-06:00

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.

View the article about the unveiling of the mural.

Boys and Girls Club

2008-07-11T05:47:00.003-06:00

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.

Illustration Friday - Chair

I don't use gradients much in my illustrations, but that last icon reminded me that they're not all bad. Here's my "chair" picture...

Fire Station

This past Saturday, December 10th was the opening of the new permanent "Fire Station" exhibit at the Children's Museum of Utah, designed and created by myself (of course, with the guidance and assistance of the Children's Museum staff and others).

The local Fire Department came to the exhibit opening on Saturday with their fire trucks to celebrate. (Picture posted with the firefighters' permission)

Here's a link to the coloring page that I designed to pass out at bookstores.
I'm leaving it in the "books" section of the site for anyone who loves crayons and creativity :)

Another review of the book has been posted. This time from the fun people at Mormonchic.com

I was recently interviewed by C.S. Bezas for her weblog about LDS culture on BellaOnline.com. In the interview I discuss my beginnings as an artist, the process by which the new book came about, and my inspiration for art in general. Take a look :)

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center

I recently finished this set of murals in the stairwell of a hospital in Provo, Utah. The murals deal with simple themes of seasons, aging, and families. I thought they turned out nice.
