Spotlighting Michigan-based artists at Motel Bear Lake

Public Art

Son Visual Co, September 2024

Public art is a universal language. Like music and facial expressions, public art can transcend literacy, education level, cultural background, and social class. 

With public art, I can make ideas available to people who may not otherwise feel comfortable in a science museum (a lot of reading) or an art museum (kind of elitist; way too air-conditioned).!

Kayla Peake, May 2024

I am a muralist & sign painter based in Saginaw, Michigan. My background is in graphic design, where I got my foundation for creating work that I can now translate to physical media for clients. I love to make work that feels fun & inviting to all, but especially shows other women & young folks that the public art world is for them TOO!
