Art and Design, creating compelling narratives. From History to Healing.

More than ever before, architects, designers, and curators are at the forefront of today's demanding needs in shared public spaces. Functional spaces that also foster an organization's mission and culture through art, while staying integral to a brand are part of our innovative times. Today, these discriminating designers are solving issues of disconnectedness, and encouraging people-space relationships through art and design.

Cruz partners and collaborates with architects and designers to incorporate original visual art that transforms buildings into compelling space experiences.

FOUNDED IN COLLABORATION


Cruz’s public art passion began in 1992.
While still in college, Cruz worked on several public projects. Seen here, presenting her design of an 11 foot wooden archway to a local artist who would facilitate. The arch welcomed visitors to a town's annual cultural public event, ushering visitors into an experience. Cruz also painted several free standing life-size characters for the outdoor children's story book area.

BELIEF


Art and Architecture— conduits for good.
Together they can transfigure public spaces into catalysts for positive change. Engaging spaces can honor history and encourage social wellness. It shifts human reaction to a building into a personal relationship with it.
