Concept
The client was repurposing a department store as a community gathering area with restaurant stations.
He wanted the murals to have references to the city of Rancho Cucamonga and its history. I illustrated peach and lemon fruit trees as a nod to that background.
The interior designer asked for a combination of graphic abstraction, less tight composition, with a little bit of stylized realism. I went through several drafts to get the mix and colors right.
