For this tech client’s office, the art program was rooted in Austin’s unique and quirky identity, shaping a workplace art experience that feels distinctly connected to the city. The collection brings together local artists whose work reflects Austin’s layered character shaped by music, outdoor culture, food, ranching roots, and a long-standing embrace of the unconventional. Each piece pays homage to the city's love for the outdoors, music, food, and ranching lifestyle.
Austin’s Vibrance
At the heart of the program is a mural by artist Daas. Intertwined shapes and vibrant color reflect the city's landscapes, like rolling hills and wildflowers, while shades of blue and green symbolize vital waterways, like Lady Bird Lake and the Colorado River. The mural’s flowing composition nods to Austin’s musical heritage as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” offering an abstract, expressive map of the city and inviting viewers to reflect on their own connection to place.
Complementing the mural, a series of framed prints draws inspiration from the peculiar and weird elements of Austin’s culture. Together, the office art supports the local arts community while grounding the workplace in authenticity, making the space a true reflection of Austin’s spirited and eclectic culture.
As an artist, I focus on capturing the complexity and character of the natural world through bold, detailed work. My practice moves between representation and abstraction, blending contemporary ideas with forms that feel familiar and lasting. Large-scale murals and public art are central to my work because they exist in shared space. I see them as a way to bring people together, create a sense of place, and build pride within a community. The goal is not just visual impact, but work that feels grounded, approachable, and connected to the people who encounter it every day
