Roka

Overview

Everything comes full circle when you paint in a round building. This is my second project in this historic circular office, and a reminder of the tidal rhythms we are all connected to.

Thank you Holy River for inspiring my working time with your music! And to Fultz and Singh Architects for bringing me back to this amazing space. Walter Parks Architects did the restoration of this mid century treasure for Ellwood Thompson back in 2017, and they hired me to paint the 5 panels you'll see snuck into this video halfway through.

This time, before I started working on my mural for Roka Partners (the current owners), Modern Richmond brought back the various occupants of this amazing space through the years to speak on its history. To see the original floor plans and photos of the carefully designed building and then learn how diligent all of these people have been in caring for the space was quite touching. Here's to stewardship 🌟 may we extend it to the land and water around us.
