December 2025 — A winter scene along the Midtown Greenway, the 5.5-mile rail-to-trail corridor that runs through the heart of Minneapolis. The trench and bridge structures visible here date back to the early 20th century, when the Milwaukee Road railroad used this grade-separated route to move freight without disrupting street traffic. After rail service declined, the corridor was converted in stages beginning in the late 1990s, becoming one of the city’s most heavily used bicycle and pedestrian routes. The snow-covered path shows how the greenway remains active year-round, with cyclists continuing to use the historic trench even in mid-December.

October 2025 — A large-scale mural depicting Prince dominates the side of a brick building, illuminated by a row of rooftop lights that emphasize both the portrait and the texture of the masonry beneath it. The artwork presents Prince with his iconic guitar, referencing his role not only as a performer but as a technically accomplished musician and songwriter whose work reshaped popular music beginning in the late 1970s. The saturated purples, golds, and layered background elements visually echo the imagery and symbolism long associated with his career, particularly the Purple Rain era that cemented his global influence. Murals like this became an important part of Minneapolis’s visual landscape following Prince’s death in 2016, serving as public memorials that connect the city’s streets to its musical legacy. Painted directly onto brick, the piece blends fine-art portraiture with urban scale, designed to be read from a distance while still holding detail up close. Night lighting transforms the mural into a landmark after dark, reinforcing Prince’s enduring presence in the city where he was born, recorded, and built an independent creative empire that continues to influence artists across genres.
