Located in the Dallas Arts District, The Museum of Immigration pays heed to the men and women that have come to the United States seeking a better life. From crossing the border, to integrating with a new culture; the architecture and program of the museum create a journey that guides the observer through the entire immigration process.

Cultural, language, and at times racial barriers make the already difficult process of finding housing, beginning work, securing transportation, and enrolling in healthcare/schools extremely stressful. This can force immigrants to a low point in their journey.

ARRIVAL

For immigrants there are always clear spaces of origin and destination. In all cases, the space between the two is vacuous and only used to pass through, often in haste. the journey.

This is the moment that the American Dream becomes reality. Opportunities rise to (or above) those born as US citizens. This is a place to be celebrated as the beginning of a new journey.

GALAXY ABBEY - 2021

St. Louis, MO

THESIS | Spring 2021

Professor: Ann Schaefer

(Paint: Aerosol, Latex, Acrylic)

I was one of two students at St. Louis Priory approved to do a creative studio art project for my Senior Thesis.

My Mural depicts the Priory Abbey hurtling through a distant galaxy on an asteroid. The mural was meant to be a farewell message to the class of 2021. No matter how far we spread apart, we always can fall back on the Benedictine values that our formation at Priory taught us.

The mural is located directly outside of the fine arts room in the Priory Jr. School.

Final Product! In total the mural took three full days to rough in over winter break. Once school was back in session I spent 15-20 free periods doing detail brushwork.

Stencil work and layering is extremely important for aerosol painting. Here is some experimenting I did with a quick sketch and box cutter.

All the rough spray work is done at this point. I had to work in a tight window during this process as the building had to be shut down due to fumes. I used a respirator during the entire process.
