WALLS ON WICOMICO

A 30’ x 14’ mural painted for Walls On Wicomico, a street art festival created by local artists in the Pigtown neighborhood of Baltimore, MD. The event started in 2020 and has since expanded to include both local artists and artists from other major cities around the country. My contribution to the 2024 festival depicts two figures walking across an expanse of urban swamp land in Baltimore City to view a beautiful sunset behind a skyline of factories and power plants. It is about residents of Pigtown who find moments of beauty hidden in the urban landscape and the ability of humans and nature to thrive in difficult environments. In addition to painting this mural I worked as an organizer for this event. My role included engaging with local business owners and community members to help determine locations and subject matter for all of the murals painted at the festival. Additionally I assisted with wall preparation and coordinating with artists about painting locations and other logistics. This mural was painted using a combination of Sherwin Williams acrylic latex applied with a Graco Quick Shot paint sprayer and Montana 94 spray paint.
