Through an open call hosted and judged by The Queens Culture & Arts Network , Port Authority of NY & NJ and Variety Boys and Girls Club, Plushie was chosen from countless submissions to design a mural for one of La Guardia Airport’s Parking Garage. The mural was designed to express many Queens monuments and favorite places to visit in the borough to encourage travelers to see it for themselves. Plushie, being Queens raised, included a total of 15 places and sights to enjoy in Queens based on her personal love, experience and shared memories of her and her loved ones in Queens. With the help of her team, they painted a total of 420 sq ft. Located in La Guardia Airport’s Terminal B 2nd floor parking garage, travelers from all around the world and returning New Yorkers alike, will get to see this nostalgic and comic book style inspired guide to Queens as they await for their Lyfts and Uber.
Here’s an article based on the reveal of the mural on La Guardia’s 86th birthday on December 2nd, 2025
