Check out this You Tube video of the creation "The Complexity of Everyday" commissioned by the Village of Oak Park. The mural is located along the train embankment in downtown Oak Park, IL.
 

Augustina Droze Mural Studio is now in Los Angeles! I am certainly enjoying the nice weather out here as well as the vibrant public art scene.With such a great climate and long growing season, I am looking forward to investigating new mediums such as environmental art- a great way to compliment my love of nature and gardening!

I am working on a collaborative project with artists Ginny Sykes (who co-created the design with me), Julia Sowles-Barlow, and Jim Brenner in the Ft. Sheridan forest preserve in Highland Park, IL. The project is created through Chicago Public Art Group and is commissioned by Openlands.
We have been working over the last week installing all of the painted mural segments and glass mosaic tile. Currently aluminum arcs are being installed. The piece entitled "Arc of Nature" speaks to the complexities and patterns that exist in the world around us at the macro and micro level. I will be posting more photos in the coming week when the piece is completed.

Julia is installing a piece of the mural with our fantastic installation assistant Bart.

I have just completed a huge mural in Baltimore, Maryland. The mural (located at 1818 West Fayette in downtown Baltimore) was sponsored by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts. The mural depicts two figures: a man digging in the ground (there is a community garden located in front of the mural wall) and a little girl drawing with sidewalk chalk. The drawings transform into large graphic flowers that move across the mural. In the background are monochromatic scenes of landmarks in the community from the past.
This mural was really fun to paint. I especially had fun rendering the figures. One obstacle was the extreme heat in Baltimore. I was painting during a record heat wave. Temperatures got up to 105 degrees!
