Colina Historical Murals

It was a great honor and tremendous challenge to take on the task of finishing a series of murals begun by David Legaspy III, a renowned muralist from Australia who has painted at many schools and churches all over the Malibu and LA area. David was able to complete roughly 80% of the murals you see below, but nearly every wall required some finishing touches- leaving approximately two weeks of work. Thankfully, David's sketches were well organized and preserved, leaving little guesswork for me. The experience of translating David's sketches into paint made for a rich and unique collaboration process that I shall not forget. To liven up the collaboration, I was able to bring in the talented helping hands of Heidi Hill (2 days) and Penny Hill (1 day).
