“Growth & Transformation”
Rockford, IL 80’ X 35’

"Growth & Transformation" is a mural which was designed to align with Goodwill's mission "to help create opportunities to grow and achieve" and The City of Rockford's coin as "The Forest City". The composition starts on the east facing wall where a young plant is being nourished and then wraps around to the south facing wall which shows the growth of the tree into a whimsical forest. The caterpillar climbs the tree to form a cocoon and then transforms into a butterfly to enjoy the magical forest with its other butterfly friends, and of course a fox. Painted using spray paint in my "low polygon" style the colorful artwork is bold and engages the viewer to explore their own imaginations, creativity and reflections. Hopefully the artwork creates meaningful connections and conversation between its viewers and brings a moment of joy and inspiration that is then passed on.
