Completed for the city of Boston, Grove Hall Main streets, and launched in 2023, created roughly 100 portraits of African-American women who have contributed to city throughout its history. The project included creating the images, and a number of related marketing pieces and setting up all files for print.
The banners are currently on display in Roxbury and span a 2 mile stretch of Blue Hill avenue.

The ABCL Banner Project
In 2020, I had the great honor and privilege of being selected to created roughly 30 portraits, for banners that were placed in downtown Lexington, Massachusetts, during Black History month. The honorees were selected because of their historical significance and connection to Lexington.
The project took several months to complete and was featured on local television and newspapers. It also inspired other, similar projects, with the goal of spotlighting historical figures in other communities.
