Initiated in 2013 and funded by a Clean Communities Grant, the Jersey City Mural Arts Program is a Mayor’s Office Initiative that links established and emerging local, national and international mural artists with property owners city-wide as part of an innovative beautification program that reduces graffiti, engages local residents and is transforming Jersey City into an outdoor art gallery.

I’ve had friends in Jersey City for many years and there has always been a lot of creative people here but I’m inspired by the surge of creative support and cultural emphasis that seems to be especially vibrant with the new mural program. The mural is designed to symbolize the renaissance and the cultural wave that Jersey City is riding while also acknowledging its waterfront location and the beauty and power of Mother Nature. I’m a huge believer in the power of public art and grateful to Mayor Fulop for supporting my work as well as public art in general.
