Woodstock Skate Park Murals
- Artist: Brendan Tierney
- Location: Woodstock Skate Park
In April 2021, the City of Virginia Beach Cultural Affairs Department put out a call to artists to create skate culture-themed murals for the Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation Department's brand-new Woodstock Skate Park, which opened to the public on June 16, 2021.
Virginia Beach-based artist Brendan Tierney was selected to create the murals. Tierney, a lifelong skateboarder himself, created four mural panels located at the entrance to the skate park. The murals depict fun, colorful, and skate-centric scenes that also highlight beach culture. Be on the lookout for a narwhal, skateboard ramp made of cheese and more!
About the Artist
My name is Brendan Tierney. I am an artist and mural painter who has been living in Virginia Beach for the past several years. Painting dynamic, vibrant large-scale public murals is my greatest passion. This particular project is of extreme interest to me as I have been a lifelong skateboarder since the age of five, and have an immense love of skateboarding art and culture. Since my artistic beginnings in painting murals and graffiti in San Francisco during the mid-nineties, my work has been forged in skateboarding’s unique aesthetic.
