  • Last year I went through experiences that required me to further navigate my own inward growth. I continuously came across the word “reflection” & I was eager to figure out a way to communicate this word, literally & figuratively, though my art. I’m so excited to continue developing my Gleam series this year & I hope you too can connect with these pieces! 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜✨ ____________________________________ gleam (glim) ɡliːm/ NOUN 1.  a flash or beam of light 2.  a reflected brightness, as from a polished surface 3.a brief, faint manifestation or trace, as of hope, understanding, etc.
  • Triptych canvas set commissioned by Boskalis for their Houston corporate office. ⛴🌊🛥🐟 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This project kept me on my toes from design to creation. The client’s design requests included; incorporate 6 specific vessels, using a limited blue color palette (5 shades of blue), illustrate land-ocean-subsea, & include company slogan & logo. Although I love when I get complete creative freedom on projects... it’s equally rewarding to be given parameters & then create something I’m proud of. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Also anyone need to know info about Boskalis’ services such as hydraulic engineering, heavy transport vessels, or FPS solutions holla at yo girl 💁🏼‍♀️😂 jk lol but I may have over researched a bit....this stuff is so fascinating. The large vessel on the top right (the BOKA Vanguard) weighs 100,310 tons....for perspective the average weight of an adult male elephant is 6-8 tons & a car is 2 tons. 🤯 #mural #muralartist #texasartist #boskalis #maritime

  • On the final stretch of my latest commission for @boskalis_official. I’m so excited to install this set within their new Houston corporate office next week! This triptych canvas set was initially planned to be created as a mural...but I have to say I’m really happy with how it turned out on canvas. ⛴🛥🌊••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This project provided a great example of how commissioned work is typically handled & I wanted to share in case it would be helpful to artists/ anyone curious about acquiring an artwork of their own. March 2019- contacted by company, informed of office relocation & renovation, provided my pricing. August 2019- construction begins. October 2019- site visit & collection of design deposit. November 2019- research on mural content/ design creation & revisions. December 2019- painting creation. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sometimes murals require minimal research & design time, while other times (this instance) it’s necessary to do research to be informed of the composition content. Often times, the space where the painting/ mural will be hasn’t been constructed yet. As the artist you have to visualize the completed space & how the artwork will compliment the design elements. My profession is unpredictable & challenging in more ways than I can list but I admit this is the fuel to my creative flame & I wouldn’t trade it for anything! 👩🏼‍🎨❤️🎨 #challengeaccepted #onmytoes #artist #mural #painting
