Art Off Main on Brown Street

April 2025 News: Head to the corner of West Main Street and Brown Street to find a cluster of new art murals along the facade of the Round Rock Transit Center! 

ARTIST STATEMENT

I love seeing the connections people feel to my art. The best part of being an artist is witnessing how much joy or emotion my paintings can bring to all different kinds of people. Though I don’t usually plan to paint with deep meaning behind the brushstrokes, much of my work can tell deep human stories. Maybe the characters in my paintings are all of us on our own journeys and misadventures, and I’ve just replaced us with monsters.

ARTIST BIO 

Gerardo Rodríguez was born and raised near San Juan, Puerto Rico, and came to the States for college where he studied film and graphic design. Prior to monster art he worked in photography and video editing, helping his team earn two Emmy awards for a TV show and a documentary. It wasn’t until he arrived in Austin that Gerardo began drawing monsters and painting more seriously, committing to his art full time. Known for bold colors, clean lines, and trippy landscapes, Gerardo’s art ranges from big, friendly faces and weird and intriguing shapes to his signature cowboy character and themes from classic Westerns and the American southwest. He can usually be found painting with acrylic paint and oil-based markers on canvas but has also monsterized walls, photos, thrift store art, and beer cans. He finds inspiration in nature, his graphic design background, childhood drawings, the storytelling of film, and his late dog Titus. You can find Gerardo’s paintings at the Austin Art Garage gallery and his studio at Art Hub ATX.

ARTIST BIO

Zoee is a painter, based in Texas, USA. She paints mainly in watercolor and acrylic, with a colorful and minimalist style. Art and nature has been an important part of her life since a young age. She grew up in a beautiful southern town in China and was trained under a sumi-e painter at a young age. After growing up, she moved to United States to study animation in University of Pennsylvania, and then started working as a software engineer in gaming after graduation.

But her love for art continued strongly. She spent years developing her artist career while working as an engineer full time. The eastern and western influence on her moved her to incorporate minimalist eastern aesthetic into colorful western aesthetic. The process of making art also helped her tremendously when dealing with stress and depression. In 2022, she quit her job to become a full time artist. Through her art, she wants to channel such healing power to her audience, helping them ease the stress and pain in modern life.

She has been exhibiting in multiple states in USA and also internationally in Taiwan, in group and solo exhibitions. Her work was featured in notable magazines such as Almost Real Things and Canvas Rebel. She also collaborated with Microsoft and Etchr (an Australia art and education brand) on public art projects and online classes. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

Zoee is a painter whose work is deeply influenced by her upbringing in China and her later experiences in the United States. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant memories of her childhood, she captures the essence of simplicity and playfulness that often gets lost in adulthood.

Her art marries the minimalist elegance of Eastern aesthetics with the bold, colorful expressions of Western styles. Through whimsical interpretation of childhood memories, Zoee aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and joy, inviting viewers to reconnect with the beauty found in everyday moments. In a world that often rushes past the mundane, her paintings serve as a gentle reminder of the magic inherent in simplicity. By celebrating the innocence and wonder of formative years, Zoee hopes to inspire a renewed appreciation for the subtle joys that surround us.

ARTIST BIO

It might seem that Clare Wuellner has strayed from her background in biology, but nothing could be further from the truth. Understanding science has amplified her wonder at the beauty in living things and this, in turn, informs her art. Clare intertwines her artistry and imagination with her passion for science to create images that will astonish you and change the way you look at the natural world.

Clare lives in Austin, Texas (since 2007) with her better half and their three nearly-fledged children in a house filled with love.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I photograph trees, then intertwine artistry and imagination with my education in science to create images that delight the retinas and stimulate the intellect. This process allows me to share with the viewer how extraordinary trees are. Some works use color to disclose the tree’s architecture. Others use the tree’s branches as outlines for the subject found in the negative space among the branches. All of them lay bare the saliency of trees in our lives, biologically and personally.  And all of them have stories.

ARTIST BIO

 

Malti B Lee, PhD (b. London, England, 1990) is a British Indian painter based in Austin, Texas. Drawing on her international background, Malti explores themes of place and belonging by capturing the structured architecture and organic flowers of the cities she’s experienced in her acrylic paintings. Her work is collected internationally and has been presented in solo shows and numerous group exhibits regionally and nationally. Notable works included commissions for the NHL’s San Jose Sharks, Sundance Square, Fort Worth, TX and the City of San Ramon, CA.

ARTIST STATEMENT

 

In my artistic practice, I explore the resilience of buildings and the cyclical beauty of flowers, drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and histories. Each painting is a visual journey, documenting my experiences working, living, and traveling across the world.

I use acrylic paint on canvas to create vibrant, ethereal compositions. Bold, abstract backgrounds lay the foundation, line-drawn architectural details come to life using acrylic ink markers, and oversized flowers are painted in. The interplay of contrasting technique, scale and colour employed in my work mirrors the contrasts found in urban landscapes.

The canvas becomes a vibrant playground, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of nature in urban spaces. Each painting acts as a portal, transporting viewers worldwide, encouraging them to embrace the unique beauty of cities. My art fosters exploration, urging individuals to uncover the stories beneath the surface, capturing moments and encouraging a broader understanding of our interconnected world.

Over time, my work has evolved to focus on different types of architecture in order to more deeply connect with the varied culture and histories of those places. I’m currently exploring Islamic and South Asian architecture and histories, spanning Southern Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. In the future, I hope my art will continue to evolve, through the techniques I employ, to the colour palettes and scale. My goal as an artist is to continue celebrating the diversity of our world, and connect with others through a shared sense of curiosity and openness.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My name is Allison Eve! I grew up with large generational gaps in my family as my grandma was 73 when I was born. This influenced my art because I was able to hear stories and history from a unique perspective. I feel like this is best expressed with my love of vintage signage that is reminiscent of classic Americana themes or landscapes that have a classic western feel to them. I love using rich and vibrant color pallets to really honor the life that these places have lived. I am a big fan of traveling and since I grew up so far away in Wisconsin, I have had the opportunity to take adventurous road trips that highlight off-the-beaten-path roadside attractions like pink elephant statues or giant muffler men statues. It has always fascinated me how places have refurbished these and how they are being used today. With my Pegasus painting, this is clearly an old Mobil gas station statue that is now being lit in neon and housed in front of High Noon in Austin, Tx. The glow of the neon fits perfectly within the setting of this bar and is nostalgic of a bygone era that we will not see forever.  I have really enjoyed being able to hear and share the stories and experiences with others that have found connections through what I have painted and this has been my greatest joy with showcasing such recognizable things and places. Since I work from my own photography or on location, I have been able to meet some really cool people.  

ARTIST BIO
Allison Eve is a Wisconsinite Artist who has been calling Texas home since 2016. After achieving her BFA in drawing and painting from UW-Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts in 2013, she relocated to Indiana to work on murals in the city of South Bend. Since moving to Texas, her work has focused on her own studio practice and primarily focuses on paintings featuring landscapes and vintage signage. Her love of history shows through with the imagery she selects, often showcasing iconic locations and memorializes them through a vibrant pallet. Working from her own photography or life studies, she relies on exploring the areas she lives or visits.  Her work has been seen throughout the country and especially in Wisconsin and Texas. This artist has found a home in Round Rock, Tx as a resident and as an artist. You can find her art regularly throughout Williamson County in Taylor, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and Round Rock.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Jason Wallerstein artwork is meant to share his love for all things Texas and the outdoors. As a youth, I envisioned myself as either a park ranger or an artist. Ultimately, I chose to express my love for creatures through my art. In addition to my love for punk music, I grew up with a deep connection to nature. My mother, perhaps a bit eccentric, allowed for a menagerie of pets: ten dogs, ten cats, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, parrots, snakes, turtles, and tarantulas all coexisted in our household. This environment fostered a strong connection to animals and the natural world. 

My surroundings deeply influence my artistic inspiration. Simply living in a particular area, I become fascinated by the local wildlife. I often develop small stories or anecdotes about the creatures I encounter in my daily life. Texas, with its rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty, offers an endless source of inspiration.

ARTIST BIO

Hi, Howdy, Hola Y’all!

I’m Marissa Benavides Joyner, a multidisciplinary artist living in Austin, TX.

Like most artists I picked up a pencil at a very young age and never looked back. I took art so seriously that I earned a Varsity letter from placing first in a statewide art competition- twice.

I also earned a B.F.A. from Savannah College of Art and Design focusing on motion graphics and animation because I wanted something to fall back on but it ended up being my career. Although my artistic background informs my motion design work daily, true freedom for me comes from painting.

My artistic influences come from my Texas upbringing plus music and pop culture of the 80s and 90s. I paint from life and from photos with subject matter ranging from Texas landscapes and animals, pop culture portraits, and still life.

Artist Statement: 

Tali Rachelle. The Artist.
“Your work speaks much louder than you do.” Hi there! I’m Tali Rachelle, a self-taught graphic artist, illustrator, and USAF veteran. I heard this line OFTEN during my college years as a Technical Design undergraduate. When I’m working on my designs, I prefer to be alone with my headsets on. I tune out the rest of the world and allow song lyrics to “pump me up” and even, at times, inspire my art.

I’ve been teaching myself to draw since early childhood; it’s an inherited trait. I rarely have a story in mind when I’m creating and I don’t really have a signature style. I’m always practicing different techniques and honing my skills to make my art more interesting. This results in a manifestation of a series of designs.

I draw digitally with a vector program, then I add the final touches and effects using photo editing software. I have a soft spot for technical design, surrealism, and all things fantastical. What I create is authentically me. I create the art I want to see in the world.

Title: “Almost Paradise”

Location: Prete Plaza

Artist’s Statement:

“Almost Paradise” celebrates the beauty of nature by combining vibrant color schemes, patterns, and textures that can be found both in the natural world and in the world of fashion. I’m inspired by what I see on the runway, in stores, and in fashion magazines, and by the ways in which elements of nature are expressed through design. Like in fashion, color plays an integral role in my paintings. In this piece, I chose to exaggerate the tones of my subjects to add a dramatic effect. I believe nature has a dark and a light side. By depicting flora and fauna in vibrant, uplifting hues, I aim to highlight nature’s glamour and grace. Ultimately, my wish is to spread positivity and hopefulness through my work, one painting at a time.

Title: “Fleeting Landscapes”

Location: 221 East Main, at Prete Plaza

Artist Statement:

The seven, vibrant screens of Fleeting Landscapes portray a selection of native plants from the Blackland Prairies ecoregion of Texas, considered one of the most devastated ecoregions in the world. A majority of the original 12 million acres of rich, dark clay soil that extended across  Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama were converted to crop agriculture in the last 150 years. Only 10,000 acres, less that 1%, remain in protected or prairie condition. In Texas, the northern edge extends just south of the Red River, including Dallas, and to the south including Austin to San Antonio. The city of Round Rock is located in the Blackland Prairies ecoregion.

The original 60 x 22” panels for this installation were created using monotype printmaking on mulberry paper. Through the use of hand drawn and cut stencils, layers of translucent color and botanical shapes celebrate the landscape. Humans are merely passing through these scenes. The dominant tall grass species of the Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Indiangrass, and other native plants and wildflowers like the Pale Purple Coneflower, Texas Bluebonnet, Brown-eyed Susan, Cardinal Flower, and Indian Blanket demonstrate the varied and natural beauty of this fleeting ecosystem.

What can you do to protect the Blackland Prairies for future generations?

Featured Species in this artwork:

Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii)
Brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba)
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella)
Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans)
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Pale Purple Coneflower (Echinacea pallida)
Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis)

Artist Statement:

I have this need to communicate my ideas through abstract shapes. It is my way of providing explanations about how I feel about something, or what I experience somewhere. The smooth shapes themselves tend to simplify what I see, but the placement of these shapes and their closeness to one another speak to the complexity of what I want to convey.

Artist Statement
In my series of paintings, I explore the technique of pointillism, infusing it with a burst of vibrant colors and amusing expressions on animal subjects. Through this unique combination, I aim to create a lighthearted and whimsical experience that brings joy and laughter to viewers. Color plays a vital role in my artwork, as it adds a sense of energy and spontaneity, reflecting the joyful and spirited nature of the animal kingdom.
Through my paintings, I seek to elicit laughter and lightness in the hearts of viewers. Humor has the power to bridge gaps, uplift spirits, and bring people together. By infusing animals with funny expressions, I aim to create a connection between humans and the animal world, fostering a sense of empathy and reminding us of the shared experiences and emotions that transcend species.

While the primary intention of my artwork is to entertain and bring a smile to viewers’ faces, it also carries a deeper message. By portraying animals in humorous ways, I hope to spark conversations about the importance of empathy, conservation, and the preservation of our natural environment.

In a world that can often be full of challenges, I invite viewers to step into a realm of playfulness and imagination through my colorful pointillism-inspired animal paintings. May these artworks serve as a reminder to find joy in simple moments, to embrace humor as a tool for connection, and to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the world of animals. May they inspire a commitment to protect and preserve the natural world and its inhabitants, ensuring a future where both humans and animals can thrive in harmony.

Library Lightbox Mural

When you enter the main floor of the Round Rock Public Library, you’ll notice a glowing mural! The City of Round Rock Arts and Culture sponsored this artwork — Linda Figg’s “Holey Leaf.”

I was born in Amarillo, Texas and raised with a love for the wide open plains where my Grandparents had a ranch and farm. We had so many great experiences outdoors with horses, cattle, and all the wildlife; so nature inspired me to create art.

My art degree from University of Texas opened the door for several art related jobs, including illustration, teaching the Young Rembrandt Drawing Program, the Art Center at Dragonfly Pond,  the Round Rock Art Cooperative, and the Anderson Mill Senior Center. I love painting with oil and also creating art with prismacolor/pastel. I have resided in Round Rock since 1990. I enjoyed teaching pre-school at St. Richards for 10 years.

My art celebrates animals, and is sometimes spiced with humor. I enjoy hiding faces and animals in some of my art, so you can find some unexpected images.  I had painted a monarch caterpillar eating a hole in a leaf, and my Dad said, “Why don’t you paint another painting with just the leaf.”  That is how “Holey Leaf” came about.  The pair of paintings were in my parent’s house until 2018.

The Cowparade competition was my favorite art project.  It was a challenge painting a life-size cow with a bat theme I called “Batsy at Twilight”  The cows were auctioned at Moody Theater for the Children’s Blood and Cancer Center at Dell’s Children’s Hospital.  Amazingly fun.

I have been married for 51 years to Michael Figg and raised two sons here in Round Rock, Ryan and Noah.  The support of my family made it possible to create lots of art and enjoy the life of being an artist.  My other passion was playing soccer until about age 53, and working at Curves as an instructor in several clubs in the area, helping women get physically fit.  So, with that, and my church life I have had a full, happy life.  

I have been an active member of the Williamson County Art Guild since 1999, and I am the Parliamentarian and Co-Program Chair this year.  I am grateful for this group, my wonderful family, and for our creator.

Round Rock Library has been very gracious to me, and a host of other artists by letting us show here and by promoting the art in this area.  I am most grateful.

Mini Murals

Our mini murals series places artwork at the scene of local history. These small public artworks also add unexpected interest in an uncommon location – art that is wrapped around signal box structures!

At the entrance of the Koughan Memorial Water Tower Park, you’ll find a painting depicting a group of Local Legends — Round Rock’s Domino Players. This artwork appears within steps from where these gentlemen would often play their games of “42.” Two blocks north along Mays Street (at Anderson Street) you will find a signal box emblazoned with an historic photo of the original Round Rock High School building, now CD Fulkes Middle School. 

Citywide Murals

Separate of our own public art, murals can be found all over Round Rock! Thank you to all of the local businesses that incorporate murals inside and outside of their businesses, offering professional experiences to artists and adding to the visual landscape of our community! A few of the many examples throughout Round Rock appear at right.

Where have YOU seen a mural in Round Rock, or are you a business that is host to artist-made murals? Let us know (artsandculture@roundrocktexas.gov)! 

About Our Public Art Murals

We want you to enjoy access to art with ease! Whether you’re walking down the street, through a park, heading to a parking garage, or because you purposefully chose to seek out art.

Our banner mural program serves as temporary public art, changing out at varied frequencies and curated by the City of Round Rock Arts and Culture. Our public art program also includes sculptures — temporary, visiting and permanent — and for more information about those, please click here.

We hope public art enhances your experience in Round Rock, sparks conversation or inspires you to create, gives you an extra reason to enjoy the outdoors and local businesses, makes your commute more pleasant, and provides you with a moment to step outside to think about something different from your everyday.
