A
huge thanks to Ashley Adler, my assistant
who helped me transport supplies, set up and clean up every day,
informed the public about the project, and kept me company. Another
thanks to Kevin Rooney, Starbucks on Dartmouth St., Liquitex, The
City of Boston, The Boston Art Commission, and the people of Boston
for their support of the Arts - These public murals are dedicated
to them!

This
public art project titled "Urban Wilds" is based on
an original oil painting I made in 2007, but inspired for Copley
Square by the very wildflowers that can be seen growing around
the many traffic fixtures in the square.These
urban wilds are all around us, growing in places we would least
expect and often breaking through 6 inches of concrete. Nature
never ceases to amaze me.
I
am hoping others will help keep nature thriving by sponsoring
the Boston Parks Dept.'s Urban
Wilds Initiative. A great program that works to preserve
the remaining natural ecosystems found in our great city.

Community Work
"Urban
Oasis" 2009
This
new "Paintbox Mural" located at the intersection of
Mass Ave and Harrison in Boston was done in conjunction with the
Boston Art Commission. Local artists are painting murals over
those giant gray traffic signal boxes in Boston. It's a great
program started by the City to bring more local art to public
spaces while improving the appearance of the cityscape. This particular
Mural that I painted is titled "Urban Oasis" and is painted from
the perspective of lying down in a field of wildflowers and staring
up at the moving clouds and blue sky.
