Roots and Wings

Imagine viewing bountiful flowers and nature through a kaleidoscope.

That’s the feeling Osiris Rain evokes with his abstract mural, "Roots and Wings." Tucked behind Dulaney Wine and Spirits, this vibrant work of art bursts with life, color, and imagination. Rain uses bold hues and dynamic patterns to deliver a mural that captures the beauty and energy of nature. His hope is that people “leave with a renewed sense of belonging—to their environment, their community, and the rich heritage of Towson.”

"The mural reflects the ecosystems of the Towson area," says Rain, "weaving together local flora and fauna into an abstract design that symbolizes the interconnectedness of life." A teal-colored blue crab, a flower in bloom, and an insect in flight are just a few of the elements that seamlessly flow together, creating a vivid tapestry of color and movement.

Rain’s vision extends beyond aesthetics. He wants viewers to approach the mural with curiosity, finding new surprises with every visit.

"My goal was to create something that feels fresh every time someone sees it," he explains. Each visit reveals hidden elements—a ship’s wheel, a butterfly, or other intricate details waiting to be discovered. The mural encourages exploration, inviting visitors to stop, look closer, and engage with it time and again.

On your next visit to Dulaney Plaza, take a moment to immerse yourself in the joyful complexity of "Roots and Wings." Osiris Rain, who trained at the prestigious Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy, has created public works across the U.S. and internationally, but this piece stands as a unique celebration of Towson’s vibrant community and natural beauty.

Towson Flock

When the Baltimore Ravens personally selected Jordan Lawson to showcase his artistry, he delivered a must-see mural for Ravens fans and art lovers alike. "Towson Flock," an ode to Maryland's beloved Baltimore Ravens and the town of Towson, debuted as the first mural in the Ravens’ “Paint The State Purple” initiative. The mural garnered coverage from The Baltimore Sun, ABC News, and WBAL-TV and now graces the northern wall of the Dulaney Plaza shopping center (head around the corner of The Fresh Market, across from the Towson Town Center).

This mural holds special meaning for artist Jordan Lawson, a self-proclaimed lifelong Ravens fan with close ties to the Towson community. The painting depicts a young Ravens fan floating into town, suspended by deep purple and gold balloons that spell out "R-A-V-E-N-S." Lawson also included Towson landmarks like Unitas Stadium and Rec Room, which evoke fond memories of his time as a student at Towson University.

This piece is more than a nod to local pride, it’s an invitation to be part of the story.

“One thing I think is cool about this piece is that it has an interactive concept,” says Lawson.

Instagram photo tip: Position yourself in front of the mural and create the illusion that you’re holding the Raven's balloons. Ask a friend to take a few steps back and snap your photo to really get the full effect! This playful dimension makes the piece not only visually striking but also an engaging experience.

For Lawson, the opportunity to combine his love of art and his hometown team was a career highlight. His work captures the joy and excitement of being part of the Ravens' flock while celebrating the spirit of Towson.

Jordan Lawson, a multi-disciplinary artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Towson University, explores contemporary pop-culture themes and has shown work in more than 35 exhibits. His unique perspective and passion for his craft shine through in "Towson Flock," making it a must-visit destination for art and football fans alike.

Threads of Community

Spanning an incredible 77 feet, Camila Leão’s “Threads of Community” captures the vibrant spirit of Towson. It can be found on the south side of Chopt in the Dulaney Plaza shopping center. While creating the work, Leão was struck by how deeply connected the people of Towson feel to their local identity.

“From its vibrant businesses to its sports teams, there’s a clear pride in being a part of Towson,” she says.

Throughout the mural, you’ll spot the iconic Maryland crab greeting you with excitement, a lively local rockfish, and black-eyed Susans painted in bright yellow that seem to gently sway. Camila also included subtle details, like the flow of thread that weaves these elements together, symbolizing the unbreakable bonds within the community. In her words, these symbols are a “reminder of how closely nature and community are intertwined.”

When seen up close, you can almost feel the cheerful energy of the mural through its colorful design. The intricate textures and playful details invite visitors to stop and take a closer look. Before you go, don’t miss the black, arched window that surrounds the sun—it’s the perfect frame for a selfie!

Camila Leão, a multimedia artist born in São Paulo, Brazil, and currently based in Baltimore, Maryland, grounds her work in themes of community, diversity, empowerment, and environmental awareness. Her deep connection to community and nature shines through every brushstroke, offering visitors a moment to reflect on what makes Towson so unique and how art can bring people together.

Summer Bouquet

Have you ever imagined standing at the center of a larger-than-life bouquet? Now’s your chance!

"Summer Bouquet," Megan Lingerfelt's first mural in Maryland, is a photo-worthy masterpiece located at Dulaney Plaza, just behind Chico’s clothing store. The vibrant piece features the artist's favorite flower, the purple shamrock, alongside Maryland's state flower, the black-eyed Susan. The shamrocks, with their deep violet and fuchsia tones, create a moody and enchanting vibe, while the towering black-eyed Susans burst with golden petals, radiating triumph.

"Combining the bright yellows and deep purples for this palette," Lingerfelt shares, "plays with a contrasting color palette method that I use in much of my work."

The choice to highlight flowers in this mural was intentional. Florals frequently appear in the artist's work, which she sees as "symbols of optimism, growth, and individual beauty."

The mural's creation was shaped by the sweltering heat of a July heatwave. To beat the rising temperatures, Megan and her mom, who assisted with the project, began painting each morning at 2 a.m., working under the pre-dawn sky. She describes painting in the stillness of night while the city slept as a “memorable experience.”

Megan Lingerfelt, who honed her artistic craft in North Carolina and Seattle before settling in Tennessee, creates work inspired by her surroundings and the repetition of botanical elements. "Summer Bouquet" is a beautiful reflection of her talent and artistic vision, now a part of the Dulaney Plaza experience.
