Murals
This mural reflects Envirotek’s commitment to responsibly managing chemical waste in order to protect and preserve our planet. The figure in the hazmat suit symbolizes that responsibility by holding the life of the world, represented by fish, water, and plants, in the palm of their hand. The lime green glow and the navy frame reflect the colors of the Envirotek logo. Flowing leaf patterns and new growth surrounding the hazmat suit emphasize the thriving, healthy environment made possible through Envirotek’s positive impact.

Elicious Motown Mural
Taking on the restaurants Motown theme, I painted two singers on either side with a record player shining between them as if their voices are actively recording to the track. Found throughout the piece are details alluding to Motown such as the 1960’s suits with the large shirt collars, the era of big hair, and the original aluminum microphones.
Chiefs Wolf Pack
Leading the pack is the QB wolf with the signature playbook on the wrist stating “:13” for the iconic 13 second game. This wolf carries a flag with the world record decibels written on it. Following close behind is the wolf with an 87 gold chain and a friendship bracelet! The ground has several items including Andy’s headset, the “Super ball”, and Lamar Hunts iconic glasses. Among the players you’ll find a Lombardi trophy patch, player names and numbers associated with the owners of the building and old legends, and tattoos adding more fun details like tire marks and a 777 for Vegas! Additionally, the background is inspired by the Zubaz pattern!
Westport Hookah Lounge focuses on Middle Eastern designs and themes in order to bring ambience to the lounge.

“Nurtured by Nature” explores the evolving relationship between a man and a single resilient plant, told across the four seasons and the four walls of the building. Throughout the mural, the man is depicted protecting, watering, and nurturing the plant through every hardship nature brings. He believes he is the caretaker ensuring its survival, but the plant is also sustaining him through quietly offering purpose, grounding, and moments of hope. Together, they form a symbiotic bond in which both grow.

Le Buzz Cafe
This mural represents the journey of immigration and celebrates the meshing of different cultures. The piece can be read left to right starting with a Guatemalan man in a boat bringing his coffee beans across the water. Then the Quetzal, the magnificent national bird of Guatemala, is seen carrying a coffee bag and a Laurel leaf. Lastly, the destination is the Missouri State flower, the Dogwood, representing and welcoming all walks of life into our state! Additional hidden gems: Both the Laurel Leaf and the color of the water are direct references to the Guatemalan flag!
Anchor Island Coffee
This mural is in a local sea-themed coffee shop in which I created the octopus in a way that would add life through the outstretched tentacles holding several coffee cups!
