Exterior mural - Sheetrock - Columbus, OH - 2026
God Loves You
I designed the wall so that the bottom four feet could be painted by anyone tall enough to hold a brush. That part isn't decoration — it's the structure.
Location
Westminster Presbyterian Church, Columbus Ohio
Scale
30x12ft
Duration
2 weeks
The brief
Make room for other hands
They wanted a mural about growth. I wanted the kids in it, not just depicted in it — so the composition puts every reachable surface in their hands.
Workshops
Sixty painters, one wall
Numbered zones, pre-mixed color, and one rule: you sign the back of your own petal. Chaos, but the good kind.
Finishing
Where I came in
I did the upper canopy and the linework that ties their sections together, then left every one of their edges visible. Cleaning those up would have missed the point.
After
A wall they own
Two years on, it hasn't been tagged once. Kids don't deface something they helped make — that's the most reliable anti-graffiti coating there is.

Unveiling
How it landed
My daughter takes every visitor to see “her” flower. She painted one petal.
