"Listening To Hear" Lead Artist 2024
“Listening to Hear” is a 10 x 10 ft mural created as part of the Mural Arts Philadelphia Small Wall collection. Designed, painted, and installed entirely by me as lead artist, the mural explores Black memory, adornment, and communication through surrealistic imagery. An eclectic garden of ears transforms into butterflies and gramophone-like morning glories, reflecting the ways listening becomes both survival and care within community. Satin bonnets, patterned textures, and blooming forms reference intimacy, rest, and cultural ritual within Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, where the mural is installed. The work invites viewers to consider listening not only as hearing sound, but as an act of witnessing, preservation, and collective understanding.
"Farrell Literacy Loop" 2023, Assistant Artist (Designing Artist, Jen Robb & Jason Killinger)
The playground ground mural at Farrell Elementary School explores the migration patterns of bees as a reflection of movement, adaptation, and community care. Created in collaboration with students, the mural connects the importance of bee migration and pollination to the experiences of many immigrant families represented within the school community. Several of the mural’s shapes, patterns, and visual elements were inspired directly by student artwork, allowing young artists to see their creativity become part of a large-scale public installation that celebrates growth, belonging, and collective learning.
"All at Once" Assistant Muralist (Designing Artist: Ali Williams)
“All At Once” is a memorial mural honoring the lives and memory of Black transgender women lost to violence. I assisted lead designing artist Ali Williams in the creation and installation of the work, contributing to a collective visual space of remembrance, grief, resilience, and love. Through portraiture and layered symbolism, the mural serves as both a public memorial and a call toward visibility, protection, and care for Black trans communities.
