The Union came together when Seth McMahon and Derek Heinemann joined forces to produce large scale murals at art and music events in California in 2009. They created The Union specifically to be open ended and focused on continually integrating new artists into the group. They permanently added Dela and Jonathan Solter in 2012. Their newest addition Randal Roberts was added in 2013. Enchanted Forest in Mendocino California represents the first visionary event where all five artists collaborated resulting in the formation of the heart of THE UNION.
