Waterman's Wave Boot Trail
The Watermen’s Wave Lowcountry Boot Trail an art installation launched in January 2024. The trail features 12 oversized watermen’s boots that have been painted by local artists.
The Boots I created are displayed at the Cypress Wetlands trail in Port Royal, SC and showcase animals native to the wetlands where they are displayed. The design features the alligator, blue heron, white-tailed deer, and blue crab, celebrating the rich biodiversity of the area. The piece highlights the beauty of these creatures and their habitat, creating a vibrant tribute to the local wildlife.
Walmart Community Mural
Walmart Community Mural Program “Lowcountry Vibes,” commissioned for Walmart Store 2348 in Charleston, SC. The Program serves as a nationwide celebration of diverse communities, highlighting cultural landmarks, unique features, and landscapes. Each composition integrates cultural references, reflecting the local diversity and spirit of neighborhoods across America. Every mural within the program is a unique and original artwork, showcasing the creativity of commissioned artists.
“Lowcountry Vibes,” is a 260” W x 130” H, gracing the walls of Walmart James Island since February 2024. Inspired by the rich coastal landscape of Charleston. The mural seamlessly weaves together elements that define the city. This art is a testament to the power of art to capture the essence of a community and its unique stories.
The mural also pays homage to the rich cultural tapestry of the region. In a thoughtful nod to the Gullah heritage, the mural features a skilled Gullah woman meticulously crafting a sweetgrass basket. This artistic inclusion beautifully acknowledges the deep-rooted traditions and craftsmanship that contribute to the vibrant cultural mosaic of Charleston,

Unity of the Community
Over 100 Columbia, SC community members united and helped me paint “Unity of the Community” a 6ft by 3ft masterpiece that is permanently displayed at West Columbia City Hall, symbolizing connections between people. The Gervais Street Bridge serves as the central theme, representing the collaborative spirit that bridges communities.
The artwork, enhanced with an Augmented Reality (AR) element, comes to life when scanned with a smartphone. Watch as the river flows and clouds swirl, adding an interactive and modern touch to this collective community creation. Visit West Columbia City Hall to experience this dynamic blend of traditional art and technology, showcasing the unity and creativity of the Columbia community.
