Public Art Projects
Facebook Artist in Residence: Lederer created The Land of Magic Awaits, a 10’ x 40’ mixed-media mural. The sprawling work envelopes viewers in imagery and urges them to discover camouflaged elements.
City of Palo Alto, CA; CalTrans Station: Mural commission titled Lost In My Abstract Garden. This interactive work encourages viewers to knit together their own stories and interpretations about our relationship to nature.
Menlo Church Teen Center Mural, Menlo Park, CA: Under the Wide Sky We Gather. Inspired by the bold and delicate forms that exist in nature, the tapestry-like image is realistic and abstract. The magical terrain conveys the rustle of the wind, the flow of water, and the chatter of animals that happen around us every day. Imagery transports viewers across land and sky, illuminating a path to the deep, dark recesses of our universe.
