The First Look: Revealing My Mural in Hermosa Beach

Hey there, friends!

It’s happening! The first stage of the Guidestone Church mural is officially complete, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you.

This project has been such an incredible journey, and seeing it take shape on the wall of Guidestone Church in the heart of Hermosa Beach is beyond exciting. If you’ve been following along, you know how much this mural means to me—not just as an artist, but as someone who loves this community and everything it stands for.

The First Look: Revealing the my mural in Hermosa Beach

A Canvas for Connection

Guidestone Church’s mission to bring light, joy, and the message of a Victorious Life inspired every brushstroke of this mural. Pastor Brett Armstrong said it perfectly: “Murals are an iconic part of Hermosa’s culture, and art is one expression of God’s creative genius.”

The first stage of the mural showcases all of the elements, like the waves, lifeguard tower, and the city skyline, and it’s already creating a buzz. People are stopping by, snapping photos, and sharing how much they love seeing the beauty of Hermosa Beach celebrated in such a big, bold way.

The church pastor, Brett Armstrong, is joined by his wonderful family: his wife, Ashly Armstrong, and their four kids—AJ, Aaron, Axton, and Allen.

What’s Next?

Now that the base design is complete, I’m gearing up for the second stage—adding lettering to tie everything together. This stage will bring even more meaning and identity to the mural, reflecting Guidestone’s mission to share hope and faith with the community. I can’t wait to see how the lettering will complement the vibrant imagery and elevate the message even further.

Stay tuned, because this next phase is going to be just as transformative as the first. And trust me, you’ll want to see how it all comes together!
