Collaborations &
Creative Projects

Mending Walls Links

Mending Walls is an Emmy Award winning public art project rooted in a simple idea: conversations matter.
What began in 2020 as a series of collaborative murals has grown into something much bigger. Through public art, storytelling, podcasts, educational programs, walking tours, community events, and creative partnerships, Mending Walls creates opportunities for people to connect, listen, and learn from one another.
At the heart of every project is a belief that we are stronger when we take the time to understand each other's stories. By bringing together artists from different backgrounds and perspectives, Mending Walls creates space for collaboration, curiosity, and conversations that might not happen otherwise.
Today, Mending Walls continues to use art as a tool to foster empathy, build trust, and strengthen community. Each mural is an invitation to pause, reflect, and engage with the people and stories that make up our city.
I have had the incredible honor of serving as the Lead Photographer for Mending Walls since the very beginning. For the past six years, I have documented not only the murals themselves, but also the artists, volunteers, community members, and conversations that have helped shape this project into what it is today.
One of the greatest honors of my career was helping create the Mending Walls coffee table book alongside Sarah Marsden and Hamilton Glass. As co author and co designer, I had the opportunity to help tell the story of the project's first years through photographs, stories, and reflections. The book was published by Ward Teft of KnowHow Books and remains one of my favorite ways to share the heart behind Mending Walls.
Below is a small collection of images from the past six years. I hope they give you a glimpse into the people, creativity, and connections that continue to make Mending Walls so special.
