Final images of the collaborative “LIVE” mural during the Virginia Children’s Book Festival 2017 at Longwood University along with the original sketch. It was an honor to Art Direct this mural project in Bedford Gallery for the second year while sharing so many creative moments with the children drawing and painting the imagery from Peter Brown Studio‘s “The Wild Robot” and filling the sky with my “Fractal series” visuals.

The VCBF brings together authors, artists, and illustrators with exciting, dynamic programs to foster the enjoyment of reading among Virginia‘s youth. High Five’s to Juanita Giles, Mary Jo Creaney Stockton, the entire VCBF Family and to everyone who volunteered, supported, and provided for this years festival! A special thank you to Randy and Cricket Edmonson for hosting me, to Christopher M. Register, Janet Gard McQueen, Terri Sabatos, and the Art department crew for providing the perfect space and to my Mom, Dianne Montgomery and Cricket for assisting me through the entire project!
