Using a pattern that has roots in several Ancient cultures, Meander brings together the colors from a variety of Pride flags. The small printed portraits found throughout the mural come from two sources. Blended together in harmony are linoblock images produced by citizens of Austin of themselves or loved ones as well as artist produced illustrations of persons from the Queer community who have helped moved forward the cause of equality. Scroll down this page to see galleries of all the portraits in the project.
Meander is part of the inaugural 2-D version of the City of Austin's Tempo Public Art Program. Special thanks to the Parks & Recreation department for hosting our community workshops at the Lamar Senior Center and to Midtown Ishmael Law Firm, PC for their financial support.

Unamerica is a shape which references America but has been modified to fit back into itself like a puzzle piece.
The project Our Unamerica occurred in the Spring of 2017 in at CRAFT in Austin, TX and in Akron, OH at Rubber City Prints and the University of Akron. In exchange for free art instruction and encouragement participants were asked to decorate both sides of one shape, one with what they felt positive about in our country, and the other with what they found most challenging.
Each shape became part of a larger work which was displayed at CRAFT and then as part of the exhibition Keeping House at The Kansas City Artist's Coalition.
