Angie ChuaSILVERROCK MURAL PROPOSAL
Artist Statement:
As a self-taught Asian American artist, the founder of
bobo design studio, and the owner of the stationery shop,
bobo Palm Springs, I design and create travel-inspired
artwork and products that help people connect with
their sense of adventure, self, and place. My artistic
practice is rooted in storytelling through color,
movement, and whimsy. I see murals as one of the most
powerful ways to bring joy, meaning, and identity into a
public space.
The Silverrock Park mural project deeply excites me
because it offers an opportunity to celebrate La Quinta’s
vibrant desert landscape and diverse community in a way
that’s welcoming, imaginative, and visually dynamic. The
park is a gathering place, a rest stop, a trailhead, a place
for people to enjoy the outdoor space—and I want this
mural to reflect all the small and meaningful ways
people connect with the land and each other here.

DESERTTIMELAPSE
CONCEPT:
My concept for this mural is titled “Desert Time-Lapse.”
Leveraging the walls of the building, I want to create a
design that wraps around all four walls to capture the
movement of time across a single day in La Quinta from
dawn to dusk.
East Wall: early morning pinks and purples rising over
the mountains.
North Wall: golden mid-day desert hues with plants and
sun worshiping animals
West Wall: vibrant sunset oranges fading into twilight
blues.
South Wall: a starlit evening night with rich hues and
various constellations

In conjunction with the city of
San Jose, I created a series of
murals for the Downtown
Association that involved over 15
K-Rails as part of a pedestrian
activation. Part of that was a 60
foot long continuous mural that
spanned the entrance to San
Pedro Square.
