Black Lives Matter Street Mural in North Minneapolis!

I had the privilege and honor to lead a group of local artists to paint the letters to "Black Lives Matter" on Plymouth Ave between Newton and Penn Avenues in north Minneapolis this past weekend!

It was a blazing' hot day with temps in the 100's but we made it happen in just 6 hours!

My letter is the "S" and I dedicated it to "Super Women of Social Justice"! I had assistance from Akshara Kulkarni and a group of Franklin students I invited to help me on this project knowing I would be getting pulled away all afternoon for being the lead artist.

This project was facilitated and funded by the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum Gallery located where the mural was created- in the heart of the historic Black neighborhood of north Minneapolis.

Billboard at Cup Foods / George Floyd Memorial

I was asked to create a billboard illustration for one of the three billboards above Cup Foods where George Floyd was murdered. I dedicated this piece to Black and Brown mothers who have lost their son's to police violence. The image was inspired by George Floyd calling out for his mama when a white police officer placed his knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes. The artwork is called "Mama". The original has been sold but prints will be available soon. The artwork should be on display until October 2020.
