He co-founded Endeavor Studios, a grassroots artist-run space in Richmond\u2019s Jackson Ward arts district that hosted First Friday exhibitions and music events.<span id=\"more-1197112\"\/><\/p>\n<p>McMullen\u2019s paintings fuse realistic architecture and scenery with abstract shapes, glowing geometric forms, and unnatural light, creating surreal nightscapes devoid of human figures yet full of evidence that people once passed through. He describes his process as taking real elements from his environment \u2014 architecture, light, and feeling \u2014 and remixing them into imagined landscapes, calling it \u201can abstract shuffle of the elements.\u201d Much of his imagery comes from documenting Richmond\u2019s neighborhoods by bicycle, chasing shifting sunlight and stumbling into unexpected moments that later resurface as ethereal structures immersed in wilderness.<\/p>\n<p>His acrylic and gouache works have been described as glowing with \u201cdreamy nostalgia,\u201d with neon light emerging from dark, moody scenes like winks from a higher consciousness. His art has appeared at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Glave Kocen Gallery, Black Iris Gallery, Talon Gallery, Lump Gallery, and in publications including Hi-Fructose Magazine, Richmond Magazine, and The Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elimcmullen\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designyoutrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/670737279_18579382573046407_6254984538985082440_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"1238\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1197114 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designyoutrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/670737279_18579382573046407_6254984538985082440_n.jpg 990w, https:\/\/designyoutrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/670737279_18579382573046407_6254984538985082440_n-650x813.jpg 650w, https:\/\/designyoutrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/670737279_18579382573046407_6254984538985082440_n-768x960.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 990px;
