"Sea Birds" (Large Wall Time Lapse Video)

This project was done as a part of the Salem Art Association's Annual Project Space.

It is titled "Sea Birds" because it is the first in a series. This time lapse mural series is about my experience living and working in Hawaii and Oregon. I travel frequently and am fortunate enough to always be near an ocean. My deep love of and connection to the sea and the sky promoted and influenced the imagery in these videos.

HFD Fire Prevention Week 2014 Mural

Aloha Friends!

I had to take a quick film editing break today work on the Honolulu Fire Department's 2nd annual Mural Painting Event! This year's Fire Prevention Week 2014 Theme: "Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!" The murals will be on view at firehouses island wide during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5-11. I was lucky enough to once again work with my friend and fellow painter Jessica Orfe and also got to meet a new friend Michy Moody. What a lovely (and hot!) day it was today. It's always good to see the community come together to make something new and, in this case, educational! Bonus!

Check out the photos below of the two panels we got to work on:

"Sea Birds II" (Small Wall Time Lapse Video)

This project was done as a part of the Salem Art Association's Annual Project Space.

Project Space Mural 2014 (Day Ten) Small Wall

Aloha Friends!

If you recall I not only had a 30ft wall to paint on but a smaller 15ft wall. This wall did not change in time lapse fashion like the large wall but was a fun experiment in spontaneous painting, (i.e. not planning ahead just painting whatever came to mind). Overall I am pretty pleased with how this turned out. Special thanks to my best friend Gretchen Light who helped repaint a lot of the white areas! Mahalo lady! You are the best!

Project Space Mural 2014 (Day Ten)

Aloha Friends!

Wow! It has been quite the journey getting all this together in such a short time. As you may know the mural is done and the opening was a lovely success. I got to see a lot of my artist friends in Salem and meet a whole bunch of new people. Mahalo to everyone for coming!

There are the last photos of the large wall. I am still working on the time lapse video and will post that asap. You might be asking, "why is the video taking so long, don't you just have to speed things up and it's pau?" Well, I could do that, but there are moments were I am moving a ladder or backing up to look at the work or speaking with someone and if I just speed things up it makes the flow of the video feel very jerky. So I am taking some time to cut those bits out so the video is smoother and a bit shorter. Mahalo for everyone's patience. Till then please enjoy the final photos!

Project Space Mural 2014 (Day Nine)

Aloha Friends!

I am back in Hawaii, it is two days before my 30th birthday and there is a hurricane a'comin! Woot! Exciting stuff indeed. So while I am weathering the storm (HA!) I'll be finishing up the time lapse mural video and posting the last few days of photos. Thanks for keeping up with me while I have been working on the project, it has been a truly amazing experience and I'm glad I got to share it with you. Mahalo!

Project Space Mural 2014 (Day Eight)

Aloha Friends!

Just started working on the final piece for the big wall. This will be the final painting that everyone will see at the opening so I'll be spending a little more time to finish it up. I was in the studio for a while yesterday and got a lot done! Not bad on only a few hours of sleep!

Day Eight:

I'll be wrapping things up with this wall and finishing up some details on the small wall in the next few days. And then hopefully get the video all done before the opening! *Whew!*

The opening is August 6th at Liberty Plaza, 5-7pm, hope to see you there!

Mahalo for looking!
