BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
ARTS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION: June 9, 2025
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECOMMEND CITY HALL MURAL CONCEPT TO CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend City Hall mural concept to City Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• In February 2025, staff contracted with artist Nate Frizzell (Frizzell) to develop a
mural design for an exterior wall of City Hall.
• On December 9, 2024, the Arts and Community Services Commission
(Commission) reviewed Frizzell's initial mural designs.
• Revised mural concept is presented for the Commission's review and
recommendation to Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal year (FY) 2024/25 budget includes a $25,000 allocation in the Art in Public Places
Art Purchases (APP) account 270-0000-74800 to design and paint the mural.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Commission's purview includes providing input and recommendations concerning
APP projects and acquisitions. Staff has identified an exterior wall of City Hall (Attachment
1) as a suitable location for a community mural, and requested mural concepts from
Frizzell.
On December 9, 2024, the Commission reviewed the initial Frizzell mural designs and
provided comments and suggestions on preferred themes, elements, and colors. In
response to the input received from both the Commission and staff, Frizzell prepared a
new mural design, which reflects the collaborative efforts and shared vision of community
stakeholders and incorporates distinctive elements specific to La Quinta and the
Coachella Valley.
The mural prominently features "La Quinta" in the City's distinctive, flowing script
immediately establishing a strong visual identity. The foreground depicts the purple sand
9
verbena and the smoke tree, highlighting the region's ecological diversity. The mural also
features native desert animals — the roadrunner, coyote, and a bighorn sheep, each
selected to represent adaptability and the natural wildlife of the surrounding landscape.
The Santa Rosa Mountains provide a recognizable backdrop, shown in silhouette against
a desert sunset, a view closely associated with La Quinta's natural scenery. The mural's
color palette, rich purples, pinks and golds, reflect the tones commonly seen during
seasonal wildflower blooms and desert sunsets.
The mural serves as a visual representation of La Quinta's heritage and natural scenic
environment. It emphasizes the region's native plant and animal life, and encourages
greater appreciation for the surrounding desert habitat. Positioned at City Hall, the mural
is designed to serve as a welcoming landmark that reflects the City's appreciation for art,
nature, and its unique desert setting.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission may choose not to recommend the mural concept.

ARTS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION: June 9, 2025
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS RESPONSES TO CALL TO ARTISTS FOR SILVERROCK
PARK MURAL
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss responses to Call to Artists for Silverrock Park Mural
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Silverrock Park (SRR) restroom facility is suitable for a community mural.
• A Call to Artists was distributed seeking artists and/or graphic designers interested
in designing a mural for the facility.
• Staff received fifteen (15) eligible responses to the Call to Artists and are asking
the Arts and Community Services Commission (Commission) to discuss the
proposals submitted.
FISCAL IMPACT
$10,000 is allocated for the design of the mural and an additional $6,000 - $10,000 is
allocated to produce and install the vinyl wrap on the facility. Funds are available in the
Art Purchases Account (Account No. 270-0000-74800).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Commission has expressed interest in expanding Art in Public Places (APP) by
acquiring large-scale, highly visible public art. While assessing suitable locations for
potential APP opportunities, staff identified a restroom facility at SRR that can
accommodate a community mural. Staff issued a Call to Artists seeking mural design
services which was published on the City's website and distributed to several artists,
graphic designers, and art related organizations.
The Call to Artists generated significant interest, resulting in fifteen (15) eligible proposals.
Applicants were asked to submit an artist statement along with photographs and
descriptions of previous work. At this stage, artists were not required to submit specific
designs or renderings for the SRR mural. While some applicants have chosen to include
preliminary concepts these submissions should not be viewed as having an advantage.
13
All proposals will be evaluated equitably, in accordance with the established criteria. Staff
is requesting that the Commission discuss each artist and concept while focusing on
artistic style, creativity, originality, and how the artist's body of work reflects the
community of La Quinta . Staff will compile the Commission's feedback to identify the top
five to eight artists. These finalists will be presented at a future meeting as a Business
Session for further discussion and recommendation of a preferred artist to City Council

To whom it may concern with the City of La Quinta,
ATTACHMENT 1
I am writing to express my interest in the Silverrock Park mural project. I feel that I am uniquely
qualified to develop the artistic direction for this project based on my passion and extensive
professional experience in creating art for public spaces.
I'm an artist, muralist, sculptor, and designer with 15+ years of professional experience,
exhibiting work throughout the U.S. and abroad, working with municipalities & organizations that
include the Golden State Warriors, American Express, the Minnesota Vikings, Levi's, and the
Toronto Blue Jays, to name a few. In 2021 1 completed a 120' x 80' wall in Schlitz Park, now the
largest mural in Milwaukee, in partnership with Crestlight Capital, Schlitz Park, and the city of
Milwaukee. I have vast knowledge and experience working through the concept -to -completion
process, with steps that include preliminary design, concept feedback and collaboration,
timeline management, installation logistics, and project execution. I am comfortable working
with ambiguity and adversity, and approach each project with the goal of creating art and
experiences that move people.
If chosen for this project, I would use my creativity, tireless work ethic, collaboration, and problem
solving skills to bring to life a unique and exciting public art vision that would instill hope, joy, and
positivity to the La Quinta community. I would be honored to lead this artistic vision. I appreciate
your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear City of La Quinta,
Thank you for taking the time to review my mural application for the building at Silver Rock.
This project appeals to me, as the Silver Rock location and the City of La Quinta are both
quite rich in history and significance.
Historically speaking, La Quinta has been home to indigenous people, and also has a rich
history in both resorts and in film. More recently, the City has been a haven for golf and
tennis, along with other forms of recreation.
As an artist with an emphasis on the combination of figurative elements and landscapes in
both my murals and paintings, this project is very rich in history and imagery, which would
call for a very fun and exciting endeavor in terms of past, present, and future La Quinta.
With 3 walls dedicated to 1) the indigenous times of the Cahuilla Native Americans to 2) the
juxtaposition of the fast life of the La Quinta Resort and Hollywood Getaways, onward to 3)
the spread of recreational sprawl with the more recent golf/ tennis resort and residential
communities, I would also like to imagine on the remaining side of the building 4) the future
of this community and area. These are the types of themes that I would be most interested
in working on.
More particular to the site itself, the Silver Rock location besides being a haven for
indigenous peoples, was also a retreat for the Ahmanson family, former owners of the
famous Home Savings and Loan as well as the Ahmanson Ranch. The recent development
project challenges are also quite interesting, and give the site another angle, as the
property and its location has been building quite a quiet yet prolific history. I can foresee
the wonderful potential for this location.
I learned about this project from my friend Dan Stiel, a prolific photographer in the region,
and he has been very supportive of my work that I have painted in the California desert in
particular. My work in the area has been painting large sized freehand wall murals, so this
project is a bit different for me, as it would entail making paintings by hand to be
reproduced in a larger -sized format on the building. This project is quite interesting,
however, I would be willing to work together with a group to make sketches and imagery to
start. It is always exciting to work with others to develop an artistic plan and subsequently
create 4 final colorful and exciting paintings rich in history of the finished project. which
would be of great benefit to the City of La Quinta for years to come.
As far as my own work, I am a freehand muralist and painter, which means that I do not use
any grids, but rather sketch out everything by hand on either canvas, walls, or other
structures. I have been trained this way as an artist. I have several advanced degrees,
33
including a Bachelor's degree from Tuft's University and a Masters of Fine Art Degree from
Art Center College of Design. I worked on murals and large-scale paintings since the 80s.
Most of my work has been completed in North America and in Europe. Within the past
decade, I have worked on and completed at least 10 large scale works in the California
desert and several others in Arizona and near the Mexican border. Much of the work I do
has connection to the communities that I create in, and brings the community together and
creates a new vibrancy in the area. I like to work with other artists and value community
building through art. I also have Guatemalan and European roots, and I like to incorporate
many different colorful themes and images in my work. Some of my former art teachers
include students within the lineage of Diego Rivera, Siqueiros, Bernard Priem (one of the
last French Surrealists), Norman Rockwell, Conger Metcalf, and Grant Wood. One of my
peers, Rob Zeller, also wrote a best-selling book on New Surrealism.
https://www.amazon.com/stores/Robert-
Zeller/author/B01 N6Z666R?ref=ap rdr&isDramIntegrated =true&shoppingPortalEnabled =tr
ue
I also am able to do digital art as well as graphic design, as I have done this type of work
vocationally as well.
With my experience as a muralist and an artist, I would embrace working with a vendor to
print the large-scale prints on the building located on the community golf course. I would
estimate that the cost of each large-scale print to be placed on the building should not cost
more than $2,000 each, as this would require high quality imagery and materials.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read through some of my interests and ideas. I am a
big fan of the Community bringing art into this location, and I sincerely thank you for taking
the time to consider me for this opportunity.
Thankyou,
Honor719

Service Proposal
Prepared For: Michael Calderon, Senior Management Analyst I City of La Quinta
Prepared By: Meggie Roy, Senior Designer at FrogFrenchie Design I Date: May 5, 2025
1. Introduction
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for the SilverRock Park Mural. With over
17 years of experience in graphic and environmental design, I specialize in transforming spaces
through thoughtful, refined visual storytelling. I hold a bachelor's degree in graphic design and
spent a year in France studying applied arts, which broadened my perspective on how art can
function in everyday environments. I've also completed advanced jewelry design training in both
Montreal and San Francisco, deepening my understanding of scale, detail, and craftsmanship.
In addition to large-scale design work, I regularly create commissioned artwork for private
clients across multiple states. This experience has sharpened my ability to adapt to a wide
range of aesthetic goals, spatial constraints, and collaborative settings.
This proposal outlines my vision, background, and approach to the project, along with a detailed
budget. An attached portfolio showcases past work that demonstrates the breadth of my skills
and my ability to work effectively with committees and clients alike.
I'm excited about the possibility of contributing to the visual landscape of La Quinta and
creating a piece that reflects both the beauty of the desert and the character of SilverRock Park.
2. Artist Statement
As a Canadian artist who has traveled the world and explored many cultures, I've been shaped
by a lifelong curiosity for aesthetics, materials, and context. My creative path has taken me
through formal and hands-on study in various mediums —painting, sculpture, mixed media,
jewelry, glass, and ceramics —all of which have deepened my sensitivity to how art lives in
physical space. After many years of exploration, I chose to establish my family here in the
Desert, a place whose landscape and stillness continue to inspire my work.
T 760 610 9031 1 Fro&cnchie.com
39
The natural beauty of La Quinta is undeniable —the mountain ranges, the warmth of the sun, the
stillness of the air, and the glow of California sunsets. These elements speak for themselves.
But what draws me in just as much are the subtleties: the textures, the patterns, the play of light
and shadow, and the quiet mysteries that only reveal themselves over time. In my work, I aim to
honor those elements by creating pieces that don't shout for attention but instead amplify
what's already there with refinement and elegance.
My professional background is in graphic design, a field in which I've worked for over 17 years.
Large -format design is a core part of my expertise —I'm experienced in creating detailed,
scalable graphics for commercial applications and murals. I understand the precision required
to produce high -resolution artwork that translates seamlessly into production, particularly when
working with vinyl and other large-scale materials. Preparing files for fabrication, accounting for
architectural elements like doors and fixtures, and ensuring a cohesive visual result are second
nature to me.
Beyond two-dimensional design, I've worked extensively on commercial and residential interior
design projects. This work has given me a strong foundation in how to elevate and integrate
artwork within real -world spaces, making sure that visual impact is balanced with context.
Whether I'm designing a storefront, a private home, or a public mural, I take into account the
architecture, flow, and mood of the environment. The result is artwork that enhances its
surroundings without overpowering them —work that feels intentional, polished, and lasting.
For the SilverRock Park mural, my approach would be rooted in the essence of the desert: its
still power, its dynamic light, and its layers of visible and hidden beauty. I want the mural to feel
like it belongs —connected to the park's environment and engaging to visitors of all ages,
whether they notice it in passing or stop to take it in. I would collaborate closely with the City
team to refine the concept, develop several design directions, and ensure that the final result is
not only visually striking but also technically sound and easy to implement.
An attached document showcases a variety of past projects, demonstrating both the range of
my artistic skills and my ability to adapt to different creative visions. It also highlights my
experience working collaboratively with teams and committees to deliver results that are both
high -quality and community -minded.

Letter of Interest
We are Rough Edge Collective : Maria -Jose (MJ) Lindo-Lawyer and Joshua Lawyer. Both of us being the art kid in school,
we were obsessed with creating. Being children of immigrant parents who didn't know the next steps to take, led us to
becoming self-taught artists. We know first hand how impactful public art can be, I ( MJ ) was forced to move frequently
due to the civil war in Nicaragua, my family relocated to Toronto Canada and it was there that I was captivated by the
mural work while riding the subway as a child. Meanwhile 2600 miles away, in East Palo Alto, Joshua was growing up in a
strong Tongan culture, beautiful and rich in tradition. Although the Tongan culture had so much art intertwined in the
traditions passed on from generation to generation, the concept of being an artist as a profession was an idea that was
hard to grasp for his family. Through the 90's bay area graffiti/street art scene and seeing artists transform the public
space is where he would find his life's passion. We met in 2010 in a small art gallery in the Mission district of San
Francisco, fell in love and the rest is history. For the next 10 years we would be showing in galleries across the country
and have work featured in publications like Juxtapoz, American Art Collector, and exhibited work at the De Young
Museum. In 2019, we installed our first mural and fell in love with the process and have focused on murals ever since.
Rough Edge Collective specializes in outdoor, and indoor murals with a focus on traditional techniques while using
materials that allows for longevity, weather and uv resistance, and pigment retention. We achieve this by using high
quality acrylic latex paint that is guaranteed for long term exposure in an outdoor environment (Nova Paint & Sherwin
willaims) , and using a hand brushed mural style. We've have proven our artistic merit through our aesthetic quality,
including content, craftsmanship, uniqueness and relevance to its environment.
Throughout our career we have adapted to each job we were given, such as working with Caltrans to paint a 7000
square foot mural, and all the stipulations that come with working alongside a California state agency like Caltrans. We
have also worked alongside several city municipalities, collegiate bodies, community organizations, local businesses, and
private clients. Throughout these jobs, no matter the size, we work tirelessly to create a unique design that not only
meets the vision of our client but exceeds them. We have never gone over budget and we have always hit our deadlines
for installation. In addition to hitting our marks, we also highly prioritize safety. Our team has over 14 years of OSHA
safety training, fall protection training, license to operate machinery such as scissor lifts and boom lifts. Our team has
also been on emergency response teams, and understand the risks that come with installing murals and public art.
Our team would be excited to have the opportunity to design a mural for Silverrock Park. We work collaboratively on
every piece, blending our skills, insights, and experiences. From initial concept sketches to the creation of props and
photographing models, we ensure that every step of the process is thoughtfully executed. We take pride in sourcing or
crafting our own props and working together in every photoshoot, as it allows us to create a cohesive vision that truly
embodies our collective effort. From the photoshoot, we use those images as reference to develop our final designs all
designed by hand on a tablet. Our designs are 100% our own and human every step of the way. Thank you for your
consideration,
Warmly,

SilverRock Park Mural Proposal
1. Artist Statement
As an artist, I believe in the power of storytelling through visual language. My work is driven by
the need to connect, to reflect, and to inspire. The City of La Quinta's call to design a mural at
SilverRock Park immediately resonated with me because it aligns with what I value most:
community, culture, and presence.
The 'Present Love' sculpture concept inspired this multi -wall mural design. It centers on the
themes of Family, Community, Unity, and the profound simplicity of being present. These
universal concepts transcend backgrounds and speak to what binds us as people. With each mural
wall, I aim to build a visual narrative that welcomes, grounds, and uplifts all who walk through
SilverRock Park.
rrA
My artistic background includes murals, mixed -media public installations, and illustration work
grounded in community engagement. I blend abstract botanical motifs, stylized figures, and bold
color blocking to create art that feels alive and inclusive. This mural isn't just decoration; it's a
living message: Be Present. Be Community. Be Love.

Artist Statement
As the owner and lead artist of Pandr Design Co., I have dedicated the past nine years to creating
large-scale murals that transform public spaces, enhance community identity, and inspire
engagement. My background in graphic design informs my approach, allowing me to blend bold
compositions, intricate details, and thoughtful storytelling into my murals. I am excited about the
opportunity to collaborate with the City of La Quinta to design a mural at Silverrock Park that
embodies the city's unique character and natural beauty.
have extensive experience working on public art commissions, including large-scale murals for
municipalities, businesses, and cultural institutions across the country. I have worked with a wide
range of industries —including hotels, dairy farms, hospitals, and local municipalities —to create
murals that enhance their spaces and connect with their visitors. No matter the setting, I always
consider the people who will experience the artwork, as I see public art as a powerful tool for
engagement and community connection.
For this project, I envision a collage -style vinyl mural that incorporates a mixture of illustration and
typography to celebrate the essence of La Quinta. My artistic process begins with thorough
research, exploring local history, natural elements, and community values. I plan to integrate a
vibrant color palette and bold, engaging compositions that reflect the city's identity while making
the space feel welcoming and dynamic. As a trained graphic designer, I am fully equipped to
produce the correct vector files for large-scale vinyl printing and have collaborated with numerous
companies to print and install vinyl wraps, such as my work for the Dunkin' Vinyl Murals at Hasbro
Children's Hospital (see below).
ff
believe public art should be accessible and engaging, creating a lasting impression on residents
and visitors alike. This project aligns perfectly with my passion for community -driven artwork, and
am eager to bring a fresh and inspired vision to Silverrock Park.

To the La Quinta City Staff and the Art in Public Places program staff:
Please find my application and proposal for the Silverrock Park Mural RFP below for consideration.
Artist Statement
This project is desirable for a wide array of reasons, the incredible landscape and vistas notwithstanding. My
work revolves around community, and how we can not only celebrate everything that is involved with that
concept, but also our surroundings — particularly the grand views of nature in this case.
While my imagery is predominantly character -based and pop cultural in nature, the deeper hope is that the
colorful, fun visuals I create are easily accessible by a wide variety of people. Whether age, gender, cultural
background, or some other facet of being a person, the initial reaction is hopefully a smile, and then an
opportunity to explore the piece, the colors, the expressions, the iconography, and appreciate it more deeply.
My shape -character murals are often mirrors of sorts with characters that people view and identify with. More
than once I've heard people say, "I'm totally that red triangle!" Or, 1 feel like that circle today..." For this mural
specifically, my intention revolves around not only showing a range of different characters, colors, expressions,
and, of course, shapes, but to also allow these shapes to allude to the environment itself around the park
facility and in the distance. Triangles become a mountain range of sorts. Spheres become a rolling landscape
or clouds. Feature both geometric forms, and perhaps ones that are slightly more organic will achieve this.
In addition, these shape characters always have a hand around a "shoulder" or on the head of someone
nearby. This represents support, friendship, and, again, community. A warm feeling to know that you are part of
something. I also like to add speech bubbles in some cases, which could allow for La Quinta key phrases like
"Love LQ" and others.
Further, while my color palettes usually involve fairly saturated colors, for this piece, I would consider the
natural surroundings, and allow them to inform my palette and compliment them. I'd "turn down" that
saturation, and look to the park and the mountains and the sky to show me the palette —greens, blues, muted
reds, yellows, and oranges, and so on. My hope with this decision is to have the mural be an analogous,
natural fit where the piece will live, while also standing out by being a diverse cast of characters —much like the
park itself. People coming together to enjoy nature and each other, while also utilizing what the park has to
offer and respecting the nature all around it.
Given that the final piece will be created and installed as a vinyl wrap, my approach would focus on not only
executing the piece to the appropriate specification based on my digital art -creative knowledge, but more
importantly collaborating with the City Staff, the Art in Public Places Staff, and any other parties that would help
inform and enhance the artwork with specific and important aspects of the La Quinta community.
From a budget perspective, my focus would be on input, concepts, revisions, and the creation of the final work.
Given my location in Chicago, a portion of the budget would be travel related expenses to the site, whether
early in the project and/or during installation or while celebrating the final piece for the public. I love to talk to
and interact with the community that lives where my murals are, so if the Staff is amenable to this and feel it
would be helpful and interesting to the community, I'd love to offer that as part of the project. I've outlined
specific estimates to this end below.

The list below breaks down the steps in the process of the art creation, taking into account the initial concepts,
collaboration with the City Staff and any required revisions via email, zoom, etc, as well as the final artwork.

Further, as noted above, if desired I'd love to visit either during the process or upon the public unveiling of the
completed install. As such, I've included a line item for that travel including the flight, lodging, and car rental.
This amount in particular could be less depending on many factors. Finally, I've included a 15% margin of error
since estimates can change based on the scope of the project and any additional needs that may arise. The
range for the estimate is $8000.00 to $9200.00 depending on these factors.

1 created this piece for the Albany Park Chamber of Commerce in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago. We wanted
to represent a wide variety of colors and provide a peaceful and positive feeling for a busy stretch of Lawrence Avenue at
Kimball Ave.
I worked with the Village of Skokie, Illinois to create this building -width piece. 1 provided several sketches, and the Village
Staff opted for this treatment, with select words and icons. The finished pieces measures approx. 80 feet by 15-20 feet.
I worked with a downtown Chicago neighborhood association to create this piece in a high traffic area across from the
Chicago Theater. We wanted to create a piece that provided a positive eco-conscious message in a deeply urban setting.

This piece was created for a local business that is a trampoline park and adventure park for kids and families. 1 worked
closely with the building owners to create an active and whimsical wall to reinforce the feeling of being in the space and
utilizing the various elements they provide.

C SHAWN IMALS
This mural on Elston Avenue in Chicago was part of a building -wide project consisting of a dozen or so artists. We all
collaborated and came up with a number of ways to integrate our pieces not only next to each other but integrated into the
buildings recesses, corners, and so on.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

SILVERROCK MURA I 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.
CONCEPT
DES.
TIMELAPSE
submission by:
angie chua
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

Artist Statement: Jonathan Menchaca with Desert Wraps
This project has everything I look for as it challenges my creativity and lets me explore different forms
of artwork.
As a graphic designer for Desert Wraps, I have the opportunity to create many different forms of art but
many times I am limited to the requests our clients have.
Working on a project like this allows me to add my own personal touch and explore my creativity to the
fullest. I'm always excited to work on projects that allow me to create something unique and meaningful
to others.
When creating the design for this project, I thought a lot about how my design can complement the
beautiful landscape around Silver Rock Park and decided on something colorful, fresh and fun.
As I mentioned, working for Desert Wraps has allowed me to work in many different projects but some
of the more notable ones come from allowing creative freedom. For example, recently we did some
murals and interior work for Yucca Valley High School and Black Rock High School. I have also done
interior work for major dealerships around the country like Honda, Ford, Kia and others.
I hope that working on this project can open doors for future projects around the city which will allow
us to show how unique and beautiful our valley is.

ARTIST STATEMENT AND PROPOSAL
John Cuevas
Please see the attached mock up for a general idea of my proposal.
The location of the mural is a gem already. Reflecting the surrounding colors will continue the
calm effect of being in nature but by showcasing the wildlife and native plants we can create a
space where we can highlight plants that will nurture our local ecosystem.
I can include as many native and local animals as the Council would like to see. The scale is
close to human scale so the animals can be at various depths (sizes) within the mural. The
mural will aim to be as close as possible to real life colors with a slight pitch toward warm light.
I think the back door would look best wrapped, or painted to match the mural. The restroom
doors should be clearly visible as well as the water fountains. For this frontside I'm planning
on including the sun and a water element, like a spring. I can use the reflections of the spring
to highlight the water fountains and use the effect of the suns radiance to create a backlit
scene where the doors will feel more natural. I am very open to input and feedback. I think
meeting, discussing and refining the design is the perfect way to get the best possible mural.
I am very experienced with the printing process and design requirements. I build all of my
digital projects for printing in CMYK first so there's no translation issues. I also agree that
vector is best for printing. As a painter, it's easier for me to create a painting and then just
photograph it at the proper resolution, but the outcome is less vibrant. So when I know the
project will be a vinyl wrap, I always go the extra mile and configure the art in vectors.
My goal with this mural is to complement the meditative beauty of the natural world and
encourage and celebrate ecological balance in our cities. I welcome the opportunity to meet
and collaborate with the council to create this mural for the community.
Sincerely and Shine On,
John Cuevas

This image is just a quick mock up of the concept. The Idea is
for the walls to reflect the landscape almost like a mirror, but
with local flora and wildlife. The horizon line will be the same
thoughout the 4 sides. Here is a list of plants and animals I
plan to include (this list is flexible & I welcome the input of the
Council):
'Gamble's Quail
'Black Hawk
'Greater Roadrunner
'California Fan Palm
'Smoketree
'Sand Verbena

John Ha Proposal
I'm so excited to present my Mural proposals for the Silverrock Park Mural project.
The images I'm proposing are my most popular images that I've sold during my 25
years of selling art at Art festivals as a Rhode Island School of Design BFAAlumni.
The first image proposed are the most popular series called- "Dip N Dots "which
features hidden Easter Eggs like the LQ and a silhouette of a golfer. Other options
would be a silhouette of a roadrunner or palm trees, etc.
The angular color lines and multi color size round circles/ dots creates a lot of
movement as well as a depth of field that can be enjoyed from a distance.
Another set of proposed images are my Koi fish series featuring a double red lotus
flower that should complement the dual doors on the bathroom facing wall.
The Concentric Circle's are a graphic colorful representation of a sunset in the desert.
The final option would be my Sand series that showcases the textural white sand and
colorful wispy winds with hints of color that you could imagine in the desert area.
I would like to propose my Images at $2000 each and for the set of four images at a
total of $8000. 1 would be able to adjust any colors and images to the cities preference
and recommendations.
Thanks you for your time and consideration.

ARTIST STATEMENT /
LETTER OF INTEREST
137
The opportunity to create a mural for La
Quinta's SilverRock Park deeply resonates with
me because of the park's potential to become
a sanctuary for art and reflection. As an artist
whose work explores themes of transformation,
healing, and joy through immersive public
installations, I feel an immediate connection to
this project's intention. The natural beauty of the
region and its cultural vibrancy align powerfully
with the spirit of my work.
Over the years, I have created murals, sculptural
installations, and vinyl -based public art for cities
across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe.
My work includes La Magia de Coletta in Costa
Mesa, The Dance of the Butterflies in West
Hollywood, and Fusion Monarca in El Monte,
among others. I've also wrapped utility boxes in
Hermosa Beach with butterfly -inspired designs,
and I offer vinyl wall decals for personal and
private installations. Public art is where I feel
most at home — it's where I get to connect my
vision with community space, creating moments
of wonder in the everyday.
My design approach for La Quinta is inspired
by the idea of an unexpected Butterfly Oasis
— a vibrant sanctuary of color, movement, and
nature that wraps around the exterior of the
SilverRock Park facility. The mural will feature
MARISABEL BAZAN
layered, hand -painted watercolor butterflies
rendered digitally to create a flowing, immersive
atmosphere. Visitors will be greeted by the
warm and welcoming phrase "WELCOME TO
LA QUINTX, organically integrated into the
design and surrounded by the joyful flight of
butterflies. The final mural will be prepared as a
high -resolution digital artwork printed on vinyl,
ensuring brilliance, longevity, and a seamless
integration with the environment.
Color is central to my artistic vision. I use a rich
palette of layered transparencies, textured
gradients, and vibrant hues that feel alive
and dynamic. Each mural becomes a portal —
not only beautifying a space, but activating it.
I believe art has the power to shift energy,
elevate everyday experience, and offer
emotional grounding. This mural will do just that
— it will invite residents and visitors to pause,
breathe, and smile.
Creating art in a community like La Quinta —
with its strong artistic pulse and connection to
nature — feels aligned with the purpose of my
work. I would be honored to contribute to this
initiative and bring my artistic voice to a space
designed for all to enjoy.

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

ABOUT ME
My name is Rachel Jacobs, and I am a professional Freelance Artist and Art Production Assistant in film and
television. In 2023, 1 graduated Summa Cum Laude from San Diego State University with a degree in Graphic
Design, where I honed advanced skills in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and PhotoShop, as well as screen printing
and experiential design. My freelance projects, including branding for local businesses and interactive
installations, have sharpened my ability to create visually compelling designs.
In addition to Graphic Design, I studied Scenic Design for theater, gaining expertise in set painting,
woodworking, metalworking, and drafting. This led to roles as an Art Production Assistant on productions for
Netflix and 20th Century Studios, where I collaborate on immersive set environments.
My recent focus on murals perfectly blends my passions for graphic design and fine art. A notable project, my
colorful electric box mural in downtown Palm Springs, transformed a utilitarian structure into a celebration of
eye-catching fun, engaging the community and visitors alike. My experience crafting bold, community -focused
murals makes me eager to contribute to La Quinta's vibrant public art scene at SilverRock Resort. I am excited
to bring this passion and expertise to create meaningful work that resonates with the La Quinta community.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Every piece of art I create reflects a part of who I am. For the past 10 years, my acrylic and oil portraits
have sparked conversations about beauty and societal expectations of women. My murals, painted at
meaningful locations like my elementary school, downtown Palm Springs, and SDSU's new football stadium,
celebrate places that shaped me. When I saw the City of La Quinta's call for artists to create a mural at
SilverRock Resort, I felt compelled to submit a design.
La Quinta has been my sanctuary —a place of peace and escape every three-day weekend, school break,
and much of the pandemic. The desert landscape, framed by majestic mountains, inspires a sense of
serenity and wonder. My mural design celebrates this natural beauty, featuring local species like Desert
Bighorn Sheep, Roadrunner, Mountain Lion, Brittlebush, Palm Trees, and Cacti. Each side of the building
showcases these rendered in a vibrant, illustrative style that invites exploration.
To complement the tranquil setting of SilverRock Resort, I've chosen bold colors, including a vibrant
Bougainvillea pink. This palette, inspired by the region's flora, creates an inviting atmosphere and a
dynamic photo opportunity for guests. My mural aims to enhance the Resort's appeal, engage visitors, and
honor La Quinta's unique landscape, fostering a deeper connection to this extraordinary community.

THANKYOU
It would be so incredibly meaningful to have
my design in a place I grew up eating
breakfast on the patio with my grandparents
and learned how to golf. Thank you so much
for your time and consideration.

Dear Michael Calderon,
Community Resources Analyst
Hello, My name is Shanah Chomsinsub (Pixel Pusha) I am a Creative Director at a local ad
agency with over 20 years or professional experience. I am an up-and-coming classic medium
artist in the Coachella Valley. Once I saw the opportunity to wrap the Silver Rock building I was
very excited to see how I could get involved. I use to frequent the park when I lived in La Quinta
and still continue to find my way there for different events and activities.
The following mock-ups and renderings show my graphical point -of -view of what is possible. If
selected as the artist I am eager and willing to expand the concepts with the Art Committee and
open to any suggestions or improvements to help insure that we all share the same vision for
the project. Also, just a side note: since this design is on the more simplistic side, I can expand it
into more detailed solutions if needed.
Other ideas to expand to the other walls are desert flowers, a tennis player, a beautiful
convertible on an afternoon drive, extend more cacti or desert animals, and/or
festival related items etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for the opportunity

PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - REGARDING CLUB AT CORAL MOUNTAIN SPECIFIC PLAN 2003-067
La Quinta Arts and Community Services Commission Public Comment 9 June 2025
Topic: South La Quinta growth -Coral Mountain park and trails
Written Comments: Mary Mann La Quinta CA 92253 mobile
Thank you for the opportunity to offer public comments to the La Quinta Arts and Community Services
Commission. I am a resident of south La Quinta who is daily inspired artistically, academically, physically,
emotionally and spiritually in our desert and am so grateful to be living here and have access to the
outdoors. I look forward to enjoying many more years here with new discovery every day and sharing with
my son as he grows. Hundreds of new homes in walled private developments have been added in the past
several years in south La Quinta and the building continues. As a result more and more people (me
included) are using areas of the City that have been lightly used in the past. As residents continue to
populate this area they are discovering Coral Mountain the Gem of La Quinta and gatewayto the Santa
Rosa Wilderness. This is an area for hiking and other outdoor pursuits and provides access to the Santa
Rosa Wilderness. This area is used daily, weekly, seasonally, by immediate neighbors, other Coachella
Valley residents, and regional visitors for all kinds of recreation. Without planning there will be a crisis soon,
where we may be cutting off our access to open space, enjoyment of our natural environment, places to
walk our dogs, ride bikes, ride horses, climb, take in the quiet, discover the desert, see wildlife, and be
inspired. The County is also upgrading the Lake Cahuilla park that was featured in the Gem magazine this
month, further adding the interest in south La Quinta as an outdoor recreation hub.
The City needs to plan on the demand for and use of the access points, trails, and natural space in south La
Quinta. I have submitted written comments at recent City Council (20 May, 2 June) and Planning
Commission (May 13) meetings regarding development around Coral Mountain. I would like to get the City
engaged in the effort to create an integrated plan and particularly to continue to allow open access to Coral
Mountain for discovery and interpretation of its unique ecological, geological, archaeological and historical
stories. To be done right it will require engagement with the public, other agencies, landowners and
potential developers covering the whole area, not piecemeal around the Mountain. So many current users
here have a deep connection to the area, are dismayed with the potential loss of access, and see a better
way to develop this area.
In my observations on foot of this area over the past 3 years, the `Coral Mountain loop' would be a welcome
addition to the La Quinta hiking map including designated trail heads on Avenue 58 and Avenue 60. This
loop would showcase our unique desert environment. On the east side of Coral Mountain the trail would
highlight the tufa formation that reveals the shoreline of the historic Lake Cahuilla and the archaeological
features that show how well loved and used this area has been for at least many hundreds of years.
The current plan seems to be to put a fence directly through these unique features to accommodate the
requirements of a large private golf course development. The fence location and construction on the west
boundary of the development were not considered in relation to identified sensitive ecological and
archaeological features that should be respected. Other considerations that were not included are the
preferred use planned for adjoining properties (park and open space), current use (park and open space),
Bureau of Reclamation and CWVD infrastructure, nor the hundreds of new neighbors that have been added
to this part of La Quinta since the original project was conceived and reconceived over the past 28+ years.
1
La Quinta Arts and Community Services Commission Public Comment 9 June 2025
Times have changed, plans need to change. The fence idea needs to be ditched and a comprehensive plan
for conservation around Coral Mountain and connection to the Wilderness boundary should be created.
This one private golf course development threatens to add another 750 residential units to the northeast
side of Coral Mountain, which will further increase the use of the surrounding natural space and access to
the Santa Rosa Wilderness. (New homes=new residents and visitors who do not stay behind walls).
Community services that are consistently demanded (when we are asked) are more parks, hiking, walking
trails, access to open space. While the current developer of the property east of Coral Mountain made
some promises regarding the building of a trail on the west boundary, this is not an integrated plan that
links the current use with the future needs. La Quinta, perhaps through this this committee, should be
working directly with any developer and other stakeholder groups to ensure that the Community Service
needs of current and future residents and visitors are taken into account. Please feel free to contact me.
am new to the conversation but so want to be a part of it if there are avenues to get involved.
