Knight’s proudest moments in over the last 25 years of creating and promoting public throughout the state California is having the special honor to design and execute four of the most massive public mural artworks in the history of his hometown of Hayward, including the monumental, “Hayward Gateway Mural,” and “Hayward Meets Hollywood” triptych mural series, Knight said, helping to bring together symbols and key identifiers to best represent the right vision of the past and future, and the experience helped me become better educated on the history of where I grew up, and a better sense of who we are now and where we plan for our future.
