Mural Title:
Tiger Godmask
Date of Completion:
July 2019
Mural Location:
BelAir Cantina 6817 North Avenue, Wauwatosa, WI 53213
Artist Statement:
The central figure in my mural design is a Tiger Godmask. Godmasks come from a mythical world I created called the Land Of Thunderbirds. In this mythology, Godmasks grant power to anyone who wears them. In my life, I have struggled with self-confidence. The Godmask offers an alternative path. The image of the roaring tiger is meant to inspire and be an example of how we can approach life, with boldness and confidence.
