B & E Meats and Seafood continues to serve the northwest with the highest quality meats, the freshest seafood. Since opening, B&E Meats has celebrated more than 68 years in business!

“When presented with the opportunity to work with B&E again, I knew I wanted to stay on-brand to the local business that has served our community since 1958. Having painted a wall at their Des Moines location, I wanted to tie both locations together by maintaining a similar color palette. The concept originally started as an entire cow sectioned into various cuts, similar to a classic butcher shop diagram. However, I added a cubist spin to make it more playful and whimsical.

While drafting on my computer, an accidental copy-and-paste resulted in a heavily cropped, zoomed-in view of just the head. Immediately, I knew this was the right direction for the wall. The flower serves as a break from the various brown tones throughout the piece, while also bringing a softness to a subject that some might otherwise see as morbid. To me, the flower also represents life, quality food, and the beautiful privilege of having access to thoughtfully sourced, high-quality meat products right here in our community.”
