2019年、スコットネスはUCLAと協力し、太陽光反射材を塗料として使用した初の環境壁画を制作した。^{[ 14 ]}この壁画は、ギリシャ神話のゼウスを描いた高さ27フィートの作品で、気候変動や都市のヒートアイランド現象に関する議論を促すために制作された。^{[ 3 ] [ 15 ]}

Skotnes collaborated with fellow muralist Ryan Sarfati, who goes by Yanoe, on three 11-story murals in Columbus, Ohio, collectively entitled The Journey.^[16][17] One of the murals includes the figure of a Somali woman, a depiction of Hodan Mohammed, who is a leader of local Somali community organizations.^[18] Skotnes was inspired by the fact that Columbus is home to the second largest population of Somali immigrants and hopes the work will symbolize fortitude and hope to its viewers.^[19]

Skotnes and Yanoe painted the world's largest augmented reality artwork at the time of its unveiling.^[20] The mural, entitled The Majestic, is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is named after the theater that once stood on the site. Inspired by the art deco heritage of the city, this work celebrates local culture and flora and fauna common in the state.^[21] In addition to the two-dimensional mural, the artists painted a QR code on the mural which unlocks a three-dimensional augmented reality version with flying butterflies, swimming fish and passing clouds.^[22][23] The mural was commissioned by the Tulsa Parking Authority and was supported by the Arts Commission of the City of Tulsa.^[24]

Skotnes collaborated with Yanoe to paint a mural in San Juan Bautista, celebrating cultural, environmental and historical motifs.^[25] Funded by Caltrans as part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Clean California Initiative, The Fabric of Life tells the story of San Juan's ranching history and El Teatro Campesino.^[26][27][28]
