About this Event

Open to the Public


Join us for a two-part lecture on the basics of mural making. Whether it's questions on logistics, planning, business aspects, materials, or how to find opportunities, this lecture will provide you with answers to demystify the medium. Alec, Shana, and Ray will talk about their background, how they got into mural work, and then share tips and know-how on what to do before you explore this massive public-facing art form.


Alec Dejesus uses brush and spray paint intuitively to create expressive and surreal artworks with a focus on energetic marks and emotion. All works are created freehand, allowing the mind and body to directly translate onto the surfaces. He currently works as an independent artist in Dallas, TX, and his art focuses on escapism, focusing on enveloping a very real message of “strength and pride through perseverance” in his vibrant paintings and murals. Working together closely with his wife, Shana Dejesus, the two manage a successful art practice and business.


Ray Albarez is a self-taught creator and Dallas native. Ray owns a spray paint delivery company, co-founded the renowned Trigger Fingers event, and is employed as a toy design engineer. His work is pervasive in the metroplex and abroad in London, Paris, and Spain. Whether he’s painting in the forgotten realms of the city or building the artistic community, Ray Albarez continues to challenge the viewer and himself with the duality of painting intricate pieces in abandoned locations.
