MURALS
by Christian Michael Gallegos and Denise Weaver Ross
Christian Michael Gallegos and Denise Weaver Ross are artists and muralists who have created over eighteen murals in the Albuquerque area. They have been collaborating informally for many years combining Christian’s expertise as a commercial painter and Denise’s technical computer projection skills. They hope to create future murals combining Christian’s abstract flower landscapes with Denise’s detailed renderings within the petals of Christians floral shapes.
