Short Pump Park
Three walls and a ground map bringing a neighborhood's real history into public air.
The Project
Short Pump Park is a public art commission for Henrico County — three curved walls covering Native American heritage, local growth, and education themes. The work is painted with KEIM mineral paint, a material system designed for permanence on exterior masonry surfaces.
This project represents the full Untitled Mixed Media methodology at scale: site data collection, photorealistic pre-visualization renders, community-sourced historical research, and documented provenance for every element.
The Process
Each wall tells a distinct chapter of Short Pump’s history, from its origins as a watering stop on the Three Chopt Road to its present-day identity. Every color was derived from the park’s physical environment. Every historical reference was verified through primary sources. The finished installation is not a mural about Short Pump — it is a mural from Short Pump.
