Weston Elementary Recycled Murals
October 2024
Over the past few days, I had the incredible opportunity to work with over 200 amazing K-2nd grade students in creating recycled bottle cap murals for their school. These young artists had a blast gluing down their colorful caps to the mural boards.
Our community along with families and students across the school generously saved caps for this project, and I’m still collecting more for future artworks—so keep them coming if you're in the Central Wisconsin area!
These projects are reminders of how art can bring a community together and that we are ALL part of a work of art.

Central Wisconsin Children's Theatre Mural
Sept 2024
In the summer of 2024 I was commissioned to create a mural for the CWCT (Central Wisconsin Children's Theatre.) This mural embodies the magic that is felt by all the children who step foot in this building and work on their theatre dreams. Everyone was invited to help paint this mural as the sheets were created to be large "paint by number" style. The mural on the door was created by 50 different painters who are connected to the theatre and the Wausau community. Above the door is the phrase "Your Stage Awaits" to inspire everyone who passes through.

Mosinee "Postcard" Mural
June 2024
In the summer of 2024 I was commissioned to create a mural for Mosinee a downtown building. This mural would showcase imagery from Mosinee's roots and symbolism for today. This mural was created as a "paint by number style" and the community was invited to help colorblock it. The final mural has been made in to postcards for the city to sell.

Riverview Elementary Paper Pieced Mural
February 2024
Today was the big mural reveal at Riverview Elementary!
A few months back I had met with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders there and each student looked at a little color reference sheet and then painted their own square.
There were 256 little painted squares that all came together to make this beautiful 8ftx8ft mural of their school mascot - the roadrunner!
It was so awesome to hear all the students shout out in excitement when they finally saw their work. Thank you Riverview Elementary for providing such a neat opportunity and supporting the arts!!
