AYEA, "Getting Creative 'bout Real Food" 2010
This project was part of the Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, summer camp in Bethel, AK. The camp was aimed at valuing traditional foods. For the mural track, I had the youth brainstorm concepts relevant to the camp. They came up with the concept of "Cultural Evolution." The painting transforms from the ancestral way of hunting and dancing to the modern hunting and dancing style. The center depicts the cooking pot with steaming animals, that have remained the constant part in our diet and traditional way of life.
Bristol Express Makeover, "Life Cycle" 2010
It was time to either, redo the Bristol Express mural of 2005 or to start fresh. We started Fresh. More pics soon.
Gastineau Ave. Mural Project 2009
If you happen to be in Juneau, check out the mural on 2nd and Gold/Gastineau. Matt Davidson organized this opportunity for me, and we recruited friends to help get the project completed in 4 days to avoid the Juneau rain.

Community Mural Project 2007
Safe and Fear Free Environment hired me to work with teens and to spruce up the town. This is what we came up with. I painted the large pictures and more than 200 community members came in to contribute their own block of community spirit. The project was titled, "Paint Your Name On Dillingham" advocating as a community reminder for the 40 developmental assets that will help our youth succeed.
Bristol Express Mural 2005
My good friend and mentor, Chris Napoli, encouraged me to develop my artistic talent by hiring me to paint a mural for his gas station, Bristol Express. Thank you Chris!
