Yours Forever: Forest Park at 150 mural wall


In spring 2025, I won a bid to create an illustrated wall treatment for the Missouri History Museum’s forthcoming exhibit, “Yours Forever: Forest Park at 150,” celebrating St. Louis’s largest urban park.
The museum wanted a hybrid park map / visual timeline representing iconic park landscapes, structures, and diverse scenes of people enjoying the park from the Victorian age through modern times. The illustration was printed on wallpaper and installed on the outward-facing wall of the exhibit space. Here are some stats:

  • the final illustration measures 24’ 8” x 33’ 5”
  • it covers 733 sq. ft. of wall space
  • there are 203 people in it, scaled at 10” tall
