AACI is an organization founded in 1973 to serve and support marginalized and ethnic communities in Santa Clara County. Three artists submitted proposals and I was selected to paint these four ageless/raceless hands overlapping and interconnected. All four hands coming from different angles but coexisting and interacting with each other.  A mural about Humanity, Inclusivity, Diversity, Community, Love and Support.   AACI 50th “A friendly hand” Acrylic Approx 460 sqft August 2024 2400 Moorpark Avenue #300, San Jose CA 95128

The title of this mural is "To Be Seen" and is located at the HUB-Robeson Center on the staircase that connects the Paul Robeson Cultural Center to the Gender Diversity Center. The idea was to portray characters with as many ethnic and cultural backgrounds as possible so students could relate to the narrative in the mural. "To Be Seen" was about VISIBILITY as marginalized voices. PENN STATE “To Be Seen” Acrylic Approx 1,160 sqft April 2024 The Pennsylvania State University, 201 Old Main, University Park, PA 16802

In 2021 we were approached by a Queer owned yoga studio that was about to open in a legendary yoga space on 16th Street near the BART Station. Our intention was to create two murals in the neutral gender bathrooms that were androgynous, positive and calming. Our proposals play with the geometric shapes of Simon Malvaez signature style while using the colors of the new yoga business called HAUM.
