Let's talk about the flowers! 🌼

For the Holocaust & Humanity Center's Strengths in Bloom campaign, I created a series of hand-drawn floral illustrations that became part of the visual language for this year's VIA Character Strengths Journal and Museum Mindfulness experience.

Each flower was intentionally chosen to reflect values connected to the Center's Upstander mission. Together, these blooms tell a larger story about courage, compassion, and the power of choosing to stand up for others.

Which flower speaks to you most? 🌿

Can you spot all 3 hidden hearts in this mural design? 💕

As a mural artist, unfortunately not every design gets the chance to come to life. While I’m bummed I won’t get to paint this one this summer, I’m still really proud of the concept and work I put into it and happy to get to share it!

This was my mural concept submission for the 2026 Zone 15 Mural Project for Wyoming Community Coffee + The Work+Shop patio. The theme was “Love Lives Here,” and I wanted the design to feel like a joyful visual love letter to the Zone 15 communities of Lockland, Lincoln Heights, Woodlawn, and Wyoming.

The mural pulls together references to the area’s railroad history, Mill Creek, music culture, local gathering spaces, creativity, advocacy, recreation, and community pride through bold typography, vibrant color, and playful storytelling details. Even the hidden hearts throughout the design tie back to the central message that love, connection, and belonging.

Feeling inspired and have a wall or space you’d love to bring to life too? I’d love to make it happen! 🎨

Now booking mural projects for June–October.
