Murals and Billboards

I have created murals and participated in live drawing events in New York, Reykjavík and London.

The Roald Dahl Museum

A collaborative mural project spanning January to March 2025, creating an original artwork inspired by the literary worlds of Roald Dahl and the local scenery of Great Missenden, in collaboration with The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre, Chiltern Rail Community Investment Fund, Charles Rayner for printing, and local secondary school students of The Misbourne. The completed artwork was revealed March 28th at Great Missenden Station, roughly 11x2.5 meters in size, or 36x8 feet.

The project consisted of two workshops with secondary school students:
i) The first workshop was focused on improvised storytelling through visual and verbal exercises, character creation, exploring self images (self as a fruit, mystical being, etc.) and most importantly, learning to accept offers and work together as a group.
ii) The second workshop was focused on composition, and generating different individual versions of a collaborative draft image for the final mural. For the generation of the final image, students took turns proposing elements from each project category: the town itself, the students themselves, and Roald Dahl’s visual worlds. Then, students discussed what might be missing or might be improved, and created second drafts of their images. Finally, students reviewed favorite elements in each other’s drawings, which were later incorporated into the final design in collaboration with The Roald Dahl Museum and Chiltern Rail.

Skólavörðustígur

In a cozy downtown Reykjavík apartment, this floral mural offers some color to a bright open space. Blossoming garðasól (papaver croceum), dandelion leaves (taxacum officinale) and ætihvönn (angelica archangelica) were chosen for their aesthetic charm and medicinal properties to symbolize a beautiful and healthy home environment. A nickname for the inhabitants of downtown Reykjavík is miðbæjarrotta or “downtown rat” so I incorporated a snowy white rat greeting the summer flora.

Horti Play

This experiential and playful Brooklyn based plant store wanted a door to another dimension, bursting with flora and fauna. We incorporated rhaphidophora, leafy palm, variegated monstera, alien colored dandelion leaves for some wildness, a big moss ball, begonia maculata, and calathea along with its signature snake.

Once in the space, we decided to make the mural even taller

Hlemmur Square

The Hlemmur mural borrows the typography from the hostel’s outdoor sign and colors from their logo. Ætihvönn (angelica archangelica) is a local medicinal herb, symbolically greeting the travelers seeking rest at the hostel. Garðasól (papaver croceum) is a non-native flower now widespread in Iceland, like the many visitors of Hlemmur Square. While certain birds are admired in Icelandic folk stories and songs, starri (sturnum vulgaris/the common starling), is known to shit on your shoulder as you await your hot dog, reminding us that Icelandic natural elements need to be treated with caution and humor.

Lokastígur Living Room

A living room mural in a Reykjavík city centre apartment. The client wanted a jungle to stretch across her wall, a bird which was the mascot for her theatre company, and a sloth as it was the nickname for her sweetheart.

Leonard Street Bedroom

A bedroom wall in East Williamsburg. The blossoming flowers symbolize the feminine within her: the strength of growth, flexibility and fertility, and the birds her masculine qualities: decisiveness, freedom of mobility and desire. The pollen rising is playing on the growth and possibility.

Pylsuvagninn

Not a mural, but a custom poster inspired by my mural at Hlemmur Square, where a couple had stayed during their time in Iceland. They had fond memories of Reykjavík’s no.1 restaurant: the local hot dog stand, or Pylsuvagninn in Icelandic. I surrounded the word with local flora - many of which aid digestion - and local birds that are often found begging for crumbs.
