I have been so excited to share this mural with you guys 😭 it is something I am so proud of. I can’t say thank you enough to the owners of @cocktailstpete and @thewetspotstpete for choosing me to complete this monumental piece for Downtown. To be able to make such a large, in your face, gay and proud piece, as someone in the LGBTQ community, has truly been an honor 💕💕 I love this establishment so much, the community for the constant love and support my entire time painting this, and this city for being so accepting that we can even have a mural like this in the first place ❤️
Cute picture but sappy post below: It’s been almost a year since I made one of the biggest decisions of my life. I left a place I called home to travel across the country with no plan whatsoever. I never even visited the city I decided to move to before doing so. I didn’t know anybody, and had no work lined up for myself. When people ask me why I would leave a place that I had a career and life in, I usually give them a generic response that I wanted a fresh start. I did want a fresh start, but most importantly I wanted to finally be happy. I was insanely depressed and I tried hiding it for years. I dealt with so much trauma, made so many enemies, got hurt by countless people, that I didn’t feel safe with my thoughts anymore. I truly believed that if I didn’t leave the place that caused me so much pain then I would never be able to heal from it. In the 10 months since I left I have done a lot for myself. I’ve had many firsts, have set a lot of boundaries, started making better decisions for my health, went through new obstacles and challenges that have benefited me mentally, and really pushed myself like I never have before. I’ve spent more time by myself and with myself than I’ve ever have. I dwell on how hard things are sometimes. Starting over isn’t easy. Finding and recreating yourself isn’t a pretty process. But I am really proud of myself for the work I’ve done so far and I realized I don’t tell myself that enough. If you’re wondering why I’m telling you this story it’s because I used this trip (where this picture was taken) as a celebration to myself and figured why not give some context 🫶🏼 #mentalhealth #growthquotes #findingyourself #selflovejourney

When looking at this mural you wouldn’t know that it’s unfinished. It was supposed to have a tagline at the top that read “It takes every community,” with a QR code that led to The Ryan White Care Council’s website. This mural was fully funded by this organization to raise awareness and beautify the community. Unfortunately the building owner of where this is located changed his mind mid project (because he donated his wall to us) and I had to stop painting. We sadly had to leave this project unfinished for 6 months. All this time- behind the scenes- despite getting threatened for trespassing or defacing property if I finished the mural, I fought so it could be complete. The message in my art is so important to me. I wanted to portray diversity, inclusivity, and togetherness. With the state that Florida is in right now we need that more than ever. So after blood, sweat, and tears I’m glad I could finally come back and leave the neighborhood with this. Always fight for what you believe in 🫶🏼It’s located on the side of Nicko’s Pizza in DTSP ❤️ Please note that the pizza shop was in equal outrage as me, they just rent from the building owner, and you should go support them. . . . . . #DTSP #stpetemurals #stpeteart #muralartist #lgbtqart #womenwhopaint #stpetersburgfl

Spot the 2 hearts, 3 if you count mine ✨ I’m full of so much gratitude that I finally got to experience the beauty that is Hawaii. My soul needed a reset and it did in the most perfect place 🤍

After a week and a half of completion I thought it was only right to finally share my finished mural with you guys 💗 She stands 18 ft tall and was created all with brushes and acrylic paint. Thank you to everyone for all the love and support on this piece, I truly loved creating her! If you want to see her she’s located at the @hollanderhotel in downtown St. Petersburg❤️ These beautiful photos were taken by the art lover and wonderful photographer @edelmohr.
