Skate Park Mural

Father to two skateboarders, Patrick Haywood’s photographic tile mural is made up of 150 portraits of members of the local skateboarding community. Fabricated through  a unique 4-color tile glaze process each portrait  is framed by the subject’s response to the question “Skateboarding… what does it mean to you?”. The project was coordinated with local skate shops, with a goal of promoting a sense of ownership in and stewardship of the park.

The skate park public art project was commissioned through the City of Santa Cruz 2% public art program.


The Gift of the Age You are Now

Betsy Anderson and Betty Lou Sturm (Woven Stories, Woven Lives) facilitated this intergenerational project. Participants included Mountain School independent study students ages K -6 and residential care facility residents throughout the county.


A Peaceful Pawse Mural

In typical trompe l’oeil fashion, this mural takes the viewer from the real (herringbone walkway) to the imagined. The bridge is inspired by Stoneman Bridge in Yosemite Valley. The landscape on the right is inspired by Moore Creek. Commissioned through the City Matching Grant Mural Program.
