THE PROJECT
The SPRAYCATION Mural Tour was a transformative 6,000+ mile road trip from June – Nov 2024. This dream turned into a reality overnight and I found myself on a five month journey throughout the western United States. This project was a celebration of autonomy, purpose, and the profound impact of storytelling — both as a personal practice and as a means to inspire others. The tour took place in the infamous AquaBurn RV gifted to me at Burning Man last year.
The tour was adventurous and dynamic to say the least. I dove deep into the discomfort of the unknown, refining my artistic discipline, and transcended internal resistance. It underscored my vocation as an artist and the necessity of showing up with intention and integrity. The journey was a wild act of expression and a vehicle for connection and growth. I learned so much about myself, life on the road, how to elevate my business, and have a profound understanding of the power of visual art.
I encountered invaluable lessons: the importance of mental resilience, the pursuit of mastery, and the courage required to embrace fear and uncertainty. These experiences reinforced the belief that growth is found in the uncharted territories of our efforts and the deliberate refinement of our craft.

A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST
Art has the power to awaken and inspire the soul. I believe that hard work pays off and we should never give up on our BIG dreams. I’ve dedicated my life to developing my artistic style and building brand awareness through visual art. I take pride in beautifying otherwise unnoticed spaces.
My work is vibrant, bold, and positive, which are all qualities that I embody in everyday life. The purpose of my art is to make people happy, whether that be to spark conversation, to invoke an emotion or to bring a smile to someone’s face. Art is my self expression and my gift to the world.
