About the art: Wanting to highlight the building’s entrance with modern, bold style imagery inspired by local geography, Alayna created the composition for this mural reflecting on the natural and structural landscape beyond The Workspace building. Simplified into geometric shapes and outline, the elements of scenery pull directionally from the surrounding location and are meant to be viewed from multiple angles.

Drawn to creative exploration by lifetime curiosity and inability to sit still, she uses a synthesis of digital and hand processes with a modern-classic, south-west style. Much of her personal work explores outlook through the lens of luck with themes of perseverance, humor and connection. She offers custom art services including brand design and illustration and runs a hand printed gifts and crafted novelty goods online shop. Lost Luck Co.

Happy to See You
Dates painted: June 2020
Pantry location: Missing in action. If you see me please let us know.
About the art: About his work in general, and the pantry, Andrew says, “I have a style that most find appealing, mainly due to the contents of my art. I mainly work in a cute, cartoonish variety, featuring different monsters and creatures of my own imagination. I love the outdoors and figured it would be a good subject to build from. I also recognized how special this project is, so I focused on making it welcoming, like every face on the pantry is happy to see you!"
About the artist: Andrew has lived in Eugene for two years, and in Oregon for his entire life. He has decorated many things for many people including (but not limited to) skateboards, guitars, bedrooms, walls, cars, and even on one occasion, the inside of a store.
Celeste Schield Jacobi
BEEautiful Ballerinas
Dates painted: June 2020
Pantry location: 1775 W. 13th Avenue
About the art: Celeste decided to paint the pantry since more families are finding themselves needing access to food. During COVID-19, many have lost their jobs or have been furloughed putting a strain on household budgets. She says, “I wanted to paint imagery that would make people smile. The ballerina bees and their whimsical nature was the perfect choice.” Photo by danavion.com
About the artist: Celeste began painting indoor murals at the age of 16 in her parent’s home. During her time at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, she created a variety of other murals in residential and commercial spaces. She has also been commissioned to create art for PABST and The Los Angeles Weekly. She states, "My creative journey has taken me through surrealism, fantasy and abstract. My work is heavily inspired by Salvador Dalí who was the first artists I came across at the age of sixteen. He represented the ’other world’ which I found intriguing and wanted to explore further."

Dates painted: July 2020

About the art: Wendi Kai is grateful for the opportunity to be involved in this community Free Pantry art project.

I see them almost every day and love their character. I wanted the images to feel welcoming, and spark curiosity. I hope people will smile when they see the box and feel drawn to it. What's inside has the intention of nurturing the community and I wanted the outside to reflect that.” Photo by danavion.com.
