I have designed and painted many signs over my years as a career artist. They all center around agriculture and gardens, but some have a deeper educational or emotional meaning. Read below....

This sign was a combination of new paintings and graphic design to highlight a local urban farm in Kansas City. Client provided the copywriting and general approach, as well as inspirational images. They wanted to illustrated their family-friendly vibes, sanctuary for native plants, and hint at their neighborhood jazz performance series.

I showed the client three general ideas for sketches, they selected their prefered choice, and I took it to the finish line. This was a delightful project to flex my painting muscles and as always, paint new plants and animals.

This was a special project to honor the life of a dedicated gardener at Kansas City’s New Roots program. I never met Mr. Sam personally, but his stories lit up my heart with warmth, and made it all the more special that I got to use my art to memorialize him in such a way.

This sign was for a former employer, a local farm called Dirt Beast. I repurposed a lot of existing illustrations and used a rainbow of vivid colors to match the client’s fun and funky energy.
