Meet Jeremy Flores 🎨

Jeremy, also known as , is a muralist with a mission: to bring vibrant color and deeper meaning to the streets of Corpus Christi. What started as a fascination with graffiti on Houston trains has turned into a career that’s transforming walls – and lives.

Jeremy’s murals aren’t just art; they’re stories. Whether it’s the “Greetings from Corpus Christi” mural or his project, Art on Ayers, every piece has a purpose. One of his recent creations features a statue with a tree growing from a diving board – a visual metaphor for overthinking and how we can make things bigger than they need to be.

But Jeremy’s work doesn’t stop with a spray can. Through his Cre8ive Culture initiative, he mentors young artists, visits schools, and inspires kids to dream big. He’s proof that creativity can be a career and a way to give back.

If you’ve ever stopped to admire the murals around town, chances are you’ve already seen his work. And trust us, he’s just getting started.

📍 Discover Jeremy’s art around the city and learn more about his story at the link in our bio.
