This body of work juxtaposes sublime landscapes that harken back to a place of untouched beauty with a place where a need to own, alter, and control one’s environment permeates. The shear absurdity of amusement park and ordinary painted elements lighten a weight that envelopes these landscapes. Through this body of work, I am looking at and questioning human’s constant search and want to control the natural world.
Foote Homes, Memphis, 2016
This recent public art piece was created in conjunction with a film about Lil Buck, called “Me and the Light”. The day before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in Memphis he gave his final speech given the name “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”. My piece connects this speech with current challenges of today in the last remaining public housing projects called Foote Homes. This piece further connects to the imagery and ideas throughout the film.
Commissioned by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and in partnership with Hidden City Philadelphia, 2016
Throughout the century following the United States Civil War, Philadelphia was known as the “Workshop of the World.” The city was a manufacturing powerhouse, with thousands of small- and large -scale facilities populating a wide range of industry—a reflection of Philadelphia’s entrepreneurial spirit. During this heyday, a complex and self-sustaining ecosystem emerged, supported by a vast network of working relationships within and across trades. This depth and diversity of production sustained the health and longevity of Philadelphia’s industrial base, far surpassing many other North American cities.
Regardless of its early strength, Philadelphia’s manufacturing economy experienced an inexorable decline during the second half of the 20th century. Left behind were the enormous and often magnificent physical remnants of that disappearing city. As the city has redefined itself in recent decades, many of these historic structures, including mills and factories, have been repurposed for adaptive and imaginative reuse. A few have survived outright, having successfully adjusted with the times. Many others stand underutilized or forgotten, subject to scrappers, squatters, and nature’s decay.
Industrious Light honors the city’s proud industrial history and prompts discourse around its present-day impact. The mural was created largely in charcoal, a throwback to “black and white” perceptions of the past and a reference to the primary materials of the industrial era. This is the third work in the Industrious Light series. The mural is located at the former Leviathan Main Belting Co. but the current home of the studios at 1241 Carpenter St. The mural wraps around the corner of the building, showcasing the stages of the historical uses of the building.
Commissioned by Artworks, Cincinnati, OH
This mural was created in relationship with ArtWorks and the Cincinnati Brewing Heritage Trail that offers stories of Cincinnati’s brewing history through public art, guided tours, permanent signage, and online experiences.
Cincinnati has a brewing heritage that overflows with rich traditions, history and pride. The Brewing Heritage Trail celebrates a proud tradition of quality beer, and it embraces a Cincinnati perspective, but it transcends both beer and local history. The Brewing Heritage Trail shares stories about our collective American past. As a destination or a casual walk, it is intended to entertain. The Brewery District CURC and its partners are also building this trail to help preserve the past and to promote the architectural legacy of nineteenth century breweries.

This is the second work in the Industrious Light series, and continues the dialogue of Philadelphia’s brewing history. The mural is located at the former Weisbrod & Hess Oriental Brewing Company, and the current home of the Philadelphia Brewing Company (PBC). The mural wraps the facade of Rowhouse Spirits, a newly opened distillery located directly in front of PBC. The mural depicts the relationship between brewing and distilling through the depiction of the industrial materials common to both. The front of the building speaks more to distilling and the back to brewing.

The completion of the mural “Cessez-le-feu” (Ceasefire) beautifully marks the conclusion of an important series which artist Phillip Adams began in 2012 at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance that is based on the four elements. After an imposingly cloudy sky (L’air du temps, 2012), the majestic St. Lawrence River (Au fil de l’eau, 2013), and a hyper-realistic Mont Royal (Terre d’accueil, 2015), it is with striking contrast that the artist — in creative residence at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance during the production of the mural — gives us the the final element, fire. We find an illustration of the city of Montreal in twilight, seen from the summit of Mount Royal.

Located at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance housing project (at the intersection of Ontario E. and St. Dominique), the mural is the third in the series representing the four elements. The view and inspiration of Earth was taken from Mont Royal. With the tree in the center of the composition, the viewer is presented with two vignettes on either side of the tree; the city and nature. The heart on the crumpled piece of paper relates to our use of earth as a material, but also the symbol of love and that earth is our heart. The mural was created to relate to its surrounding, with the foreground tree having a placement in the overall composition. This mural was created while in creative residency at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance.
Commissioned by MU, 2013
Located at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance housing project (at the intersection of Ontario E. and L’Hotel de Ville), the mural is the second in the series representing the four elements. The mural is an ode to water, to the beauty of this natural resource, but also to its fragility. The dominance of water in the mural’s overall composition and the cityscape in the background both serve as a reminder that Montréal is an island, it is surrounded by water, and its fate is intimately linked to that of the majestic St-Lawrence River. Water is at the very heart of our lives, it is fundamental to life itself. The small origami boat floats delicately, carrying with it a message of awareness about the need for preservation and responsible water use. This mural was created while in creative residency at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance.
Commissioned by MU, 2012
Located at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance housing project (at the intersection of Rue Émery and Rue Sanguinet), the mural is the first in the series representing the four elements. This mural evokes the theme of air by playing with perspectives: the dominating sky causes the building to melt into its environment. The lower part of the work is an historical allusion to the neighbourhood’s architecture prior to the construction of the Jeanne-Mance Housing Complex, in 1958. A partnership with the Centre of Montreal History allowed the use of period photographs as inspiration to recreate the urban landscape of the past, in both a fictional and hyper-realistic fashion. The presence of the orange cones at the bottom of the mural contributes to identifying the site and its history at the heart of downtown Montreal, and an ode to the constant change. The mural was created while in creative residency at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance.
Commissioned by the Philadelphia Eagles and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, 2015
In a collaboration with Jonathan Laidacker, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, a mural was created that captures the feeling of excitement and anticipation that a fan feels on game day. The design illustrates the full experience of going to an Eagles game: the anticipatory travel to the stadium, the excitement of being part of the crowd, and the thrill of the game itself. This concept, tied together with strong Philadelphia iconography, including the Eagles stadium, Philadelphia skyline, players and fans, creates an image and project that inextricably links the Eagles with the city of Philadelphia.
Throughout the fall of 2014, the Philadelphia Eagles hosted a series of paint days, during which fans and members of the Eagles organization were invited to paint portions of the 27,00-square-foot mural. The mural was installed and dedicated in spring 2015.
Commissioned by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program in partnership with Warrior Writers, 2012
This project brought the community together to support veterans, primarily post 9/11 veterans, returning to Philadelphia. Partnering with veterans organizations, universities, service providers, and community members, the project hosted a series of events including art and writing workshops for veterans, community discussions, exhibitions, and painting activities, which culminated in the creation of this landmark mural, located blocks away from the Veterans Administration Medical Center.
The goal of the project was to bring veterans, many of whom struggle in silence, into a conversation with fellow community members to share their stories and build a better network for troops returning home. The mural stretches across mirroring walls and reflects parallel worlds: wartime Baghdad and a picturesque Philadelphia homecoming. A viewer is asked to stand between these two walls and reflect and reconcile that space. Personal photographs, memories, and excerpts of poems penned by the veterans in the workshops were used as inspiration and imagery throughout the mural. This project was in collaboration with Warrior Writers and Willis Humphrey.

Through a series of weekly art-creation workshops, children and youth with Autism, as well as their families and others within the broader Autism community gave voice to their passions, interests, and hopes. They learned about art creation, as well as artistic mediums and techniques. They shared their ideas, their skills and talents, their dreams, their possibilities, and themselves. They built friendships and self-esteem. They tackled the abstract concept of beauty and brought it to life in their art. Their collective efforts gave life to this mural, a Beautiful Spectrum, which reflects their voice and vision.

Hot Summer Night is a mural in the series “The Montréal Seasons” located at Habitation Jeanne-Mance. The color and energy of summer in Montréal was depicted through fireworks, the Mount Royal tamtams and the crowds of festival-goers. The horizontal lines appearing in each mural are inspired by the movement produced by automobile, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on East DeMaisonneuve Boulevard. The common theme used in all works of art at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance is nature and vegetation. This artistic guideline was developed with the collaboration of the CHJM as part of a global improvement plan that aims to position the complex as the green heart of the downtown area. This was created in collaboration with David Guinn, while in creative residency at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance.

Using the Mayor’s Strategic Plan for the City of Philadelphia as a point of departure, this project asked high school teenagers from 4 different high schools and University of Pennsylvania students to relate to and reflect on the Mayor’s plan. These two groups represent both sides of a threshold for the voting age of 18, ostensibly the age where one’s views, or votes, are recognized and acknowledged in the public sphere. This mural is located in public transportation concourse underneath City Hall and the Municipal Services Building in Philadelphia.

Commissioned by the Trenton Mural Arts Project and in partnership with Princeton University’s Atelier program, 2011
This was the inaugural mural for the Trenton Mural Arts Project. A citywide approach was taken, where 3 community meetings were setup around Trenton to talk about themes and ideas for the mural. The subject of past, present, and future was explored throughout these meetings, and became the theme. An historic panoramic photo of Trenton was rendered in charcoal across the cinderblock “windows” on the leftmost building of the Home Rubber factory, symbolizing the past. The Home Rubber factory’s boiler room will be the center of the mural, symbolizing the present. This imagery depicts the actual machinery inside the Home Rubber factory, a business in operation for 13o years. Through the red metal door is an image of the Trenton Makes Bridge over the Delaware. The industrial image will blends with the actual conduit on the building and transformer directly in front. The final section of the mural and the largest runs the entire length of the RiverLine walking platform. The image of water represents the future, which is full of uncertainty and promise. Water also recalls the canal that ran where Route 129 is now, and the Delaware River upon which Trenton is founded. The pylon of the Trenton Makes bridge is incorporated into the painting so that it melds with the actual brick tower at the end of the light work room.

This mural is a gateway into the Fairmount Park area located a couple blocks from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The image represents the iconic cliffs behind the PMA. The cliffs are drawn in charcoal using an innovative method, with transparent washes of acrylic paint. The mural is a collaboration with David Guinn.
Commissioned by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, 2007
Window of Stories was created through the interactions with the residents at Park Pleasant Nursing Home, community members, and students of the University of Pennsylvania in West Philadelphia. A series of meetings and workshops led to the design that reflects the interior of local Victorian homes, with text interwoven into the wallpaper. The text tells stories from the lives of the residents at Park Pleasant, which came from interviews conducted by the Upenn students.
Commissioned by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, 2007
Dreams was created at MLK High School in north Philadelphia, with the help of 13 students. The students were integral throughout the process, researching themes and quotes, prepping, and painting. The flock of birds were developed as a symbol for the graduating class, as the ebb and flow of the flock gradually separates as they wrap around the school’s walls. Langston Hughes’ poem “Dreams”, served as inspiration for the imagery, as well as the namesake of the high school, Martin Luther King Jr.
