Birds of Loyalty Park
Sumner, WA
During the Summer of 2020, I was commissioned by the City of Sumner to create a mural that incorporated elements of the town and gave a sense of community pride to the area. This mural is definitely a special one to me. Not only was it the largest one I've designed and painted up to that point, but it's also in the city I grew up in. Being able to share my art with the community and contribute to the benefit of my hometown has been an amazing experience and something I've always wanted to do. I also had a ton of help from local volunteers who worked hard to help me achieve my vision. This has been great for me as a mural artist and a community member.
I wanted to include two types of birds in this mural that can be seen in the area. I also featured my interpretation of an old birdhouse that hangs in Loyalty Park. The stripes that are shown in this design actually make up the colors of the Philadelphia pride flag. I believe that art is for everyone, and I hope to make everyone feel included when they see my work.
Watch the process.
