Large-scale Exterior Murals

Painting Process

Commissioned by Dulaney Plaza, this large-scale mural (77' x 13') celebrates the vibrant spirit of the Towson community. The design reflects the region’s natural ecosystem, local businesses, sports culture represented by the mascots, and the area’s diversity. Bold colors, flowing compositions, and stylized forms create a welcoming, high-impact visual that enhances the public space while honoring local identity.


Towson, MD, 2023.

Artscape festival

As one of over 30 artists selected for the Urban Oasis Mural Project at Artscape Baltimore 2025, I created a permanent mural (18' x 16') on a JFX underpass pillar that blends Maryland’s native ecology with urban vitality. The design features regional flora, such as sweetbay magnolia, cardinal flower, and black-eyed Susans, and fauna including the great blue heron and northern salamander, all rendered in bold geometric forms and vibrant colors inspired by my Brazilian heritage. This fusion of natural and urban elements reflects both the local environment and my cultural background, adding dynamic energy and visual harmony to the space.


The mural supports the project’s mission of transforming public infrastructure into community-centered landmarks that celebrate biodiversity and cultural hybridity.

Sunny Dayz Team

Painting Process

As part of the 2024 Sunny Dayz Mural Festival in Ponca City, OK, a public art initiative uplifting women and gender minority artists, I collaborated with artist Ayesha Rana to design and paint a large-scale mural at the entrance of The Alley - (46' x 13'). 


Blending elements from our cultural backgrounds (Brazil and India) we created a bold, joyful, and energetic piece that speaks to identity, individuality, and creative freedom. My contribution featured Brazilian wildlife including the Surucucu snake, Arara Azul (blue macaw), Sagui monkey, and Onça Pintada (jaguar), rendered in my signature geometric and hard-edged style. Ayesha’s style, more fluid and rounded, introduced Indian-inspired forms and organic patterns. Together, our contrasting yet complementary approaches formed a unified visual language that celebrates self-expression across borders. The mural’s central message, “Be Wild, Be Bright,” invites viewers to embrace their unique vibrancy and voice.

BRUSH Mural Festival

BRUSH Mural team

Mural painted with Okay Everything and Kait K Designs at the Baltimore Public Charter School as an initiative for BRUSH Mural Festival. Baltimore, MD, 2023 - (35' x 20').


Made possible by a grant from the Maryland Arts Council, the mural design was selected through a community engagement process in which the artist group held a dialogue with a group of 7th and 8th graders from the school to present ideas for the mural. After the presentation, students, parents and other stakeholders gave feedback to refine the design to best reflect the wants and desires of the community.

Interior Murals

SoulRiso Therapy Clinic

Painting Process

Projection Process

In 2024, I was commissioned to design and paint a two-story indoor mural (9 x 26 feet) for SoulRiso Therapy Clinic in Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo, Brazil. 


The goal was to break away from the sterile, predictable look of typical clinical spaces and instead create an uplifting, modern artwork that would reflect the clinic’s unique identity. Inspired by the architectural and interior design plans before the space opened, I developed a custom illustration that blended the brutalist geometry of the building’s structure with the organic, flowing elements of the interior design. The final mural integrates seamlessly with the clinic’s furniture, layout, and color palette—resulting in a cohesive visual experience that feels both bold and welcoming.

Boracéia Beach Home

In 2025, I created an 11 x 9-foot indoor mural for a private residence in Boracéia, Brazil. Designed to complement the home’s coastal setting, the mural features tropical imagery inspired by the nearby beach and dense jungle landscape. With bold shapes, fluid lines, and a natural color palette, the piece brings warmth, movement, and a sense of place to the living room, turning a personal interior into a visual celebration of nature and coastal life.

Elevator door

I was commissioned to create an illustrated mural on an elevator door for a client in the rice industry in São Paulo, Brazil in 2025. Measuring 3.3 x 7.5 feet and painted with water-based enamel, the artwork features a stylized rice plant and transforms the elevator into a whimsical portal, inviting viewers into a lush, imagined rice paradise. Blending illustrative detail with a sense of depth and motion, the design adds personality and visual interest to a functional space while subtly reflecting the client’s passion and profession.
