Artist Statement
My work is grounded in the power of storytelling, using visual language to provoke thought, stir emotion, and connect
with people. Whether on a small canvas or massive wall, I strive to create art that invites reflection and inspires
curiosity. I believe the most successful works are those that feel like they belong; like they've always been part of the
landscape.
Over the years, I've been honored to work on a few murals for the City, but I think this project would be a great
opportunity to create something a little different; still trying to tell a visual story, but focusing more on bold design than
physical painting.
My mind went in two different directions after reading the concept suggestions in the call, one more clean and design -
based and the other more controlled chaos and full of color; for the more subtle, "clean" design, I thought of a wall full
of scientific or zoological illustrations where on it's own it looks like an interesting wallpaper made up of random
elements, but upon closer inspection you see that each one tells a different piece of the story of La Quinta.
The second, more "chaotic" idea was to just cover the walls in color, using vibrant larger than life flowers like
bougainvillea and pink and purple verbena. Peaking through the foliage, you'd see wildlife, including roadrunners,
Longhorn sheep, coyote, burrowing owls, and others local to the area.
I've included mock-ups of both concepts to give a better visual but final designs would be re -worked to fit the actual
walls and I'd be happy to work with you to expand, simplify, or go off in a whole new direction. I'm a firm believer that
collaboration strengthens both the process and the final piece. I also noticed that vector files are recommended and
please note that all final art can be vectorized for print.
