Born in Jalisco, Mexico, and raised in Chicago, Mauricio “Mo” Zúñiga creates textured, surreal compositions using wall plaster, varnish, and house paint — materials inspired by construction sites. His work blends dreams, symbolism, and bold aesthetics, earning national and international recognition. “I challenge myself to create… using common materials, not expensive art stuff.” In the same spirit, he embraces a heresy of the art exhibition world and invites viewers to touch his artwork — come experience it for yourself.

During the weekend of September 13th-15th, 2024, Brush Creek Art Walk will celebrated it’s 13th Anniversary with a 3‑day weekend of Outdoor Painting. 40 pre-registered artists participated in the weekend event with three $500 (sponsored) Quick Paint Events offering Purchase Awards. At the conclusion of the event, artists submitted up to three original ‘framed’ works for judging.

Works have been on display since October’s Awards and Sale traveling from The Discovery Center (4750 Troost) to Lexitas Legal Services (1608 Locust) to their final location at ArtsKC (106 Southwest Boulevard) in the Kansas City Crossroads.

To find out more of our about our event, go to our website: https://www.bcawfoundation.org/ The public was encouraged to come by and see artists at work and the results of their efforts, and they certainly did. Remaining works are for sale online via the Buttonwood Art Space and our website.
