Painting a Temporary Mural in Boston

As an artist I always have fun, but outdoors across from Fenway Park brings me back to how I started.

I knew in Kindergarten I was going to be an artist, but I had no clue that I could do this as a career until I painted my first mural at the age of sixteen. I was in high school at the time and the biggest painting I had ever done was no larger than 3 feet. I got to the job site at Newton Wellesley Hospital, and they wanted a 75′ x 12′ mural painted. It all felt natural and myself and my friend Danielle painted the mural in two weeks, and everything came out great. This was my fuel. Every time I get outside and start painting, I feel rejuvenated. When I lived in Florida, I painted murals all over the place and here in Boston I get to paint them every few months.

I had the opportunity to work with CAVA, a restaurant based in Washington DC. They called me to paint a temporary barricade for their future restaurant in the Fenway neighborhood in Boston. I also got to work with their construction team, CAFCO. The site was right across from Fenway Park, which is an honor to any Red Sox fan. We did a lot of planning together to calculate and match the brand. I spent a good hour looking at colors in the paint store and chose Behr premium outdoor latex paint. The job took a few visits to complete, and these pictures below can show you more about the journey.
