PROJECT

Pittsburgh Creative Corps

Designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pittsburgh Creative Corps initiative engages artists and creative workers to activate the public realm while providing economic opportunity.

“I strive to create public art with interesting color expressions to give us all a moment of that good-good-happy-brain-chemical dopamine. I aim for humans to relate to my work, to find solace, or at least find a positive distraction for even a minute to make their day a wee bit better.”
