Public art doesn’t have to be permanent to be powerful. Sometimes it’s a signal box that makes people smile at a stoplight. Sometimes it’s chalk that turns a sidewalk into a moment. Sometimes it’s a live painting that pulls a crowd in. And sometimes it’s a boulder painted with a mother and son at their school that becomes a landmark for a month. It can even be sticker graffiti—like the international public art exhibit in Naples, Italy I was invited to be part of (April 2025).

This site holds a collection of my public-facing work—from wraps and windows to chalk, live painting, sticker work, and interactive activations—made to engage, delight, and live out in the world.


Small-scale public pieces that invite attention, interaction, and delight.
