Union Hill Pop-Up Skatepark Mural
Located at 1590 Little Pine Trail in Alpharetta, Georgia, Union Hill Park is very frequented by skateboarders, rollerskaters, cyclists, and concert-goers. It was painted on top of an under-used outdoor roller-hockey rink converted into a pop-up skate park. The simple design and vibrant colors make it easy for anyone to enjoy.
This piece is a part of the Alpharetta public art series and can be found on their public art story map here.
This mural is also visible from aerial satellite view via GoogleMaps.

“Gator Chin” Skateboard Ramp
Located on private property in Mount Holly, North Carolina, this mural was custom created for two skilled skateboarders who constructed a skateboard ramp in their own yard. Click here for their Instagram.
The design was created in 2024 for their personal brand and is a play on words of the skateboard surface product GatorSkins. It is, however, dedicated to the 60+ year old alligator “Mama” who lives in the Everglades on the Miccosukee Indian reservation.
I am still actively looking for a way to donate money to indigenous-led/endorsed conservation groups. If you have any information on fundraising for Everglades conservation or Miccosukee support, contact me.
Thank you Hunter and Zach Brooks for this opportunity! I love seeing this art piece loved and enjoyed by all those who skate the ramp.
This 3-piece moveable mural is on display at the University of Georgia, in the Odum School of Ecology’s student lounge.
With help from students Ben Frick and Jesse Freeze, this mural was completed in Spring of 2023 just in time for graduation.
The mural features habitat, flora, and fauna native to the state of Georgia and Southeastern United States coast. Many of these species are topics of research at the Odum School of Ecology, and it has become a centerpiece for the students who frequent the lounge every day.
Single Use Planet
The first public mural in the City of Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. Completed in summer of 2019. Located on Marietta Street, the hundred-foot-long mural exhibits local Georgia flora and fauna with manmade wastes littering the landscape. The project aimed to raise awareness about the overconsumption of single-use plastics, careless roadside littering, and the importance of supporting the local ecosystem.
Contributors include Alison Hu, Hannah Fralick, Camryn Ernst, Thea Genet.
This mural is #21 on the Alpharetta Public Art Story Map. Feel free to explore the link for more public art in the City of Alpharetta.
Special thanks to Kim Zane and Nancy Murphy for helping us to accomplish this huge project as high schoolers!
Musical Abstraction
This is a private mural for a client in the greater Atlanta area, completed February of 2022. It was my first abstract mural. The musically talented client allowed me much creative freedom. I asked them to create me a playlist of their favorite songs and artists, and that I would paint what I hear. The color, stroke, pattern, style, and movement was created in response to that playlist - Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Joe Satriani, Silversun Pickups, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd…
The task of turning music into paint was one I enjoyed so much, and would love the opportunity to do again.
