Prescott Heroes mural
PRESCOTT HEROES MURAL We had a horrible tragedy in my hometown of Prescott, AZ. On June 30, 2013, 19 of our “Hotshot” firefighters perished in a fire down the hill from Prescott in Yarnell. Seems everyone knew at least one of the young men who died that day. It was awful. You just feel so…

“Ride of My Dreams” was created after a trip to the Jackson-Barrett car show in Scottsdale AZ. The place was a sensory banquet of color, texture and people passionate about their cars!

Deer Valley Airport Mural Day 1: This mural, started Feb 18th 2008 presented some logistical problems.
