Grateful that this mural I painted in 2023 via DC CAH’s muralsdc program resonated with the band Hue for this WaPo photoshoot! The mural is outside Atlas Performing Arts Center and as an avid jazz lover, I wanted to capture the freedom of youthful artistic improv. Excited to check out this band

Hi from the ladder of questioning all my life decisions as I paint portraits for the entrance of the literal museum for portraits feeling all the pressure but somehow, in flow
Seriously obsessed with this colorful new stop on the pending purple line. Imagine if all public transit considered integrating attractive, engaging public art from the beginning!
Help Lisa Frank rolled up and said she wanted her ground tarp back

Absolutely insane photo my neighbor accidentally took of me while painting yesterday 🪽 It happens to be a popular pigeon hangout spot and I’m bewildered in the best way every time I hear their wings. Wowza this is crazy
