About the Artists
Taylor White, Carlos González García, Max Dowdle, Lincoln Hancock, and William Dodge
Taylor White is a Raleigh-based painter and muralist whose work explores the tension between structure and spontaneity. Known for large-scale public installations that blend realism and abstraction, her compositions transform color and gesture into immersive spatial experiences. With major commissions for projects such as Hub RTP, Tysons Corner Center, Jamestown LP, and Mack Real Estate Group, her public commissions include multiple large-scale installations across corporate, municipal, and mixed-use developments.
Carlos González García is a mosaic artist and educator based in the Triangle region. Working out of his Eno River Mill studio, he specializes in telling stories through smalti glass, marble, and raw stone. With over twenty years of experience, his artistic foundation was shaped by an intensive three-year study of classical mosaic art in Italy where he learned in mosaics, while the pieces themselves are broken and fragmented, the craftsmanship must be perfect.
Max Dowdle is a seventh-generation NC painter, muralist, and public artist whose work explores language, identity, and the shifting landscapes of human connection. Based in Raleigh, he has over a decade of experience creating immersive visual environments. Trained as both a painter and draftsman, Dowdle works primarily with paint, surface, and structure, often merging figuration with abstraction to create layered, narrative-driven compositions. Deeply committed to public engagement, his murals and installations aim to spark energy, dialogue, and wonder in everyday spaces.
A Gang of Three is an internationally recognized, award-winning multidisciplinary arts, planning, and design practice. Founded by Raleigh natives and life-long residents William H. Dodge and Lincoln Hancock, A Gang of Three operates within an ever-evolving gradient of storytelling, wayfinding, public art, architecture, landscape architecture, installation, urban planning, ecology and advocacy. They leverage their unique perspectives and strengths to tackle such critical issues as remembrance, cultural preservation, data, social justice, human rights, climate change, resiliency and migration, among others.
