Patagonia

Be A Voter! | Through its Retail Partnerships and Action Works programs, Patagonia connects local retail store windows with regional environmental nonprofits and artists. The window artwork visually highlights specific grassroots, community-level nonprofits focusing on local conservation, clean water, or land access. Local sign-painters, illustrators, and muralists are hired to paint custom window graphics and murals directly on store glass or walls.

I was contacted by the Dallas Patagonia store and invited to work with them and MOVE Texas to inspire young people to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. The non-profit partner requested that the message be shown in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese — the major languages spoken in Texas. Over two days, I painted the entire storefront using three colors — orange, pink, and blue. We wanted a color palette that was funky but recognizable as being patriotic. The mural was up for several months, and Patagonia requested the artwork for additional print posters.
