Clearwater Signal Boxes, Commission for Clearwater Arts Alliance and Clearwater Beach Association, 2020
Many thanks to Clearwater Arts Alliance and the Clearwater Beach Association for selecting me to create an original image for the local public art signal box project! .Over the course of a few weeks, I worked with the neighborhood association to create an image that represented their community. The image “Nocturne”, is a woodblock print w/ watercolor (originally 12×12”) and depicts the magic hours of summer at Clearwater Beach. Pinellas county’s shoreline is a prime nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles, most almost always return to the same beach to lay their eggs. Continued preservation and protection is a primary goal for many residents that call Clearwater Beach ‘Home’..Once I completed the image, I sent a scanned version to the professional art wrap installer. He then turned it into a giant vinyl wrap that is custom fitted to the dimensions of each signal box..You can find the first box located at the South portion of Clearwater beach at the corner of Hamden and Gulfview Drive. The second box is located at the North end of Clearwater beach at Mandalay and Bay Esplanade.

My experience being featured as an emerging artist at Gasparilla Arts Festival was truly gratifying to say the least.
