The most community and student-driven project I've done! For this mural, I created 3 video lessons which revolved around students drawing symbols of what it means to be "welcomed, seen, and accepted" at their school. I was submitted hundreds of drawings, of which I filtered through and created full mural designs . Then students chose their favorite designs out of the bunch, and after feedback, I created the mural. Classes stopped by every day as I worked, they absolutely loved how their drawings were included in the background in the sky as well. I put in hundreds of symbols right out of student drawings, line for line.

WSES Celebrates Completion of its New Mural

This is mural created at Halley Elementary School. A very rewarding experience, as the piece was wide but I had full autonomy on the design of it. I added real students and teachers in the background on the field, in the house windows, and even students on the playground equipment.

This is mural I created this past spring in my hometown village in Punjab. It's about 15 minutes away from the village called "Moosa". It's a tribute to Sidhu Moosewala who was gunned out in May. He was a breakout star and put our city and culture on the map. Every single day I would be painting there, all the locals would come play his songs and tell me the stories of how they first met him. To this day, I listen to his music almost every day.

This is my first mural created for a client in New Jersey. Each letter represents something about the family's culture and interests. The journey was a difficult one because of how far this was so it took many trips to complete but I learned a lot of lessons during this. Most importantly I learned I could create a mural!
