Folds of Honor — 80-Foot USA Flag

Kirtland Country Club · Memorial Day Weekend

Commissioned to paint an 80-foot American flag on the 18th fairway at Kirtland Country Club in honor of Folds of Honor and fallen military heroes. The project required precision marking, custom paint mixing, and a full day of meticulous execution — resulting in a breathtaking tribute visible from the air.
