Soft Sanctuary (2024)
Soft Sanctuary is a stairwell mural residing in CSU Long Beach's Fine Arts building. The inspiration behind the painting is to bring calm, joy, and nature inside the arts buildings, and a smile to everyone who passes by.

Aki Forest (2025)
Aki Forest is an extension of Soft Sanctuary, commissioned by CSU Long Beach Building Services. The 3-story wrapping stairwell forest mural resides in the Liberal Arts 5 Building. The viewer journeys up the forest, starting on the forest floor, passing over a serene stream, a napping cat, then ascending to the canopy, and emerges at the treetops by the third floor, greeted by a sunset and overlooking the ocean of Long Beach. A full walkthrough can be viewed on my instagram, @Kaili_Ker.

I Started Early--Took My Dog (2025)
I Started Early--Took My Dog is a digital painting inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem, I started Early--took my dog. The poem explores the ocean as a a fleeting lover, with a sense of exploration, excitement, and melancholy.
