The Tucson Public Art Project is a three-part series that celebrates the Old Pueblo's eclectic public art while tracing a path toward inner wholeness. Tucson is my hometown and a great place for others to visit, with its artsy sense of community from downtown and the mid-city out through the suburbs. I want locals and visitors to feel a jolt of recognition—"I know that corner!"—and then a deeper invitation to see themselves with more compassion, courage, and clarity.

Volume One — Interstate 10

An arrival sequence: as if you've just taken an off‑ramp into Tucson's open‑air gallery. This chapter explores perception and meaning—how we interpret what artists intended and how those intentions mirror our own stories. It seeks to uncover the intended meanings behind the art, from which each of us derives personal meaning. Note: Volume One is temporarily discontinued while I rework and clarify the compositions to the new standard set by my recent studies.

Volume Two — The Greater Tucson Area

A map of spiritual awakening that spans from Marana, Oro Valley, and Catalina Foothills, down to Tucson's South and East sides, and everything between. The Greater Tucson Area embodies many concepts related to this sacred process of psychological healing. Here I reveal the microcosm of the Self in relationship to the macrocosm of Divinity—the energies that guide us and the choices we create. Volume Two is actively being updated through the lens of the Seven Principles of Art & Design. Recently revised pieces include the neon embrace of Welcome to Tucson: The Old Pueblo, the drifting possibility of Dreams, the inward gaze of Introspection, the felt guidance of Intuition, the measured clarity of Logic, and the radiant guides Solar Illumination, Star Light, and Triple Supermoon Light—with more on the way.

Volume Three — Downtown (Coming)

The heart of Tucson. This closing chapter will ask what enlightens us, unites us, and keeps us uniquely ourselves within the whole of Divine Consciousness.

Why I Make This Work

Each collage is created to be both beautiful and functional: more than just art, it's a visual practice that helps you pause, breathe, and strengthen your inner core of self-love and guiding awareness in daily life. Many of my collectors are seekers balancing busy lives with a deep desire for meaning. My art becomes a visual practice: a cue to breathe, re‑center, set better boundaries, and remember your inherent worth.

Invitation

As I continue this journey, I’m updating Volume Two through the Principles of Art so each piece reads more clearly and feels more alive. While Volume One is paused for future revisions, I'm simultaneously training in art therapy so I can combine mindset coaching and interactive arts‑and‑crafts into a Self‑Love development program. Soon, the works of art I guide others to create will become an additional companion for guided reflection, nervous system resets, and growing real self‑trust.

If something here resonates, take a piece of art home today and let it anchor your practice. Then check back soon for the coaching launch and deeper ways we can work together. Thank you for exploring Tucson with me—may these images help you see the wonder around you and the worth within you.
