Sneak peek of the utility box going up in Kent, WA. This is box 2 of my summer trilogy! Can you spot the characters inspired by Ellie and Julie ??
Biggest thanks to the Kent Arts Commission for this opportunity to share my art with the community in a fun way :)
Thank you to Rep. Adam Smith for meeting with cultural organizations at our cultural roundtable! We are so grateful to have had the chance to speak with a lawmaker about the need for federal support while recovering economically from the pandemic. Thanks to Pacific Northwest Ballet for hosting at their Bellevue location and to 4Culture, KidsQuest Children's Museum, Northwest African American Museum, Centerstage Theatre, Kent Arts Commission, SoCoCulture, Washington State Arts Commission, and Bellevue Arts Museum for attending!
We had a fun time working with kids in an after school club in Kent! Brian Wharton played music from movies including How to Train Your Dragon, and the kids made their own Dragon Eyes with guidance from Interurban Center For The Arts. This project was made possible by the City of Kent Arts Commission.

The new flags at W. Meeker St. and 516 look great!
Kent Parks, Recreation & Community Services recently installed a new batch of artistic wrapping to traffic signal control boxes around the city! Do you have a favorite?

I went to Van Doren's Landing Park today, the crews were not working there today. I took the following pictures. The "Slip Stream" sculpture and it's cement base looks like it was partially dislodged by some heavy equipment such as a bulldozer. I sincerely hope that all care will be taken when moving this sculpture to it's new location in the relocated Van Doren's Landing Park.
