Murals for Tulsa Public Schools
Paintings installed in MacArthur Elementary School and Phoenix Rising High School in Tulsa,OK. Each painting depicts students from the school inside of fantasy and science-fiction stories to encourage students to dive into the world of reading. Students helped paint on the border panels.
To the Sky, Oil, 3 x 5 feet
Based on a survey that students at MacArthur Elementary took, this painting highlights popular book subjects of dragons at the school. Students take a limitless flight into the sky on the back of a wild dragon.
Based on a survey that students at Phoenix Rising High School took, this painting highlights a popular book subject of heroes at the school. As a snake strikes, a hero breaks through just in time.

Murals at Central High School
I created four mural paintings that will be installed within the Central High School dance studio in May. Each painting depicts students from the school, and their teacher, inside of fantasy and science-fiction stories to encourage students to dive into the world of reading. From defeating evil spaceships to limitless flights with dragons, these murals are a metaphor for courageous aspirations through a fantastical lens.
Located at Central High School Dance Studio 3101 W Edison St, Tulsa, OK 74127
