I combined forces with teens at Shabazz High School to create this mini-mural, using their ideas on the focus of Growth. Inside this simple image is multiple layers of meaning, which came out of a design session, where we drew pictures of what came to mind and discussed what growth means for us.

Creating Love in Jefferson Middle School

Teacher Jennifer Vena Levesque has been wanting to work together to bring a mural to her school for years, and one day at the end of January, I received a random email that we could finally do it!

Youth Justice & Prevention Mural

For the first time since before COVID began, teens were back in the Department of Neighborhood Services space to help create this mural.

Detention Center Mural - We NAILED It!

The teens who helped did a great job, and now most want to paint murals in their bedrooms. Because of the interactions with the teens, staff, social workers, and of course how bad-ass the design turned out, this was one of my all-time favorite pieces with the Detention Center.

Summer Shelter Project - Art Together Outdoors

Pics and an introduction to our summer project at the shelter in Madison, WI. Showing them a glimpse outside of their routine can help to see a light they may not have before, if even for a moment. As each week’s new focus was underway, we’d either work in silence, to some beats, or talk. In these conversations the mural design blossomed and we got a chance to learn a little something about art, and about one another, while learning new skills.

Open the Sky

Working with teen residents at the juvenile shelter home in Madison, WI, USA, we brought our workshops to the wall by transforming an ordinary garage door into a portal of power. My favorite part was seeing something with so much beauty and intention come to life through so many hands.

"Love is a Legacy" Toki Mural Update

I was called back to collaborate with the students of Toki Middle School to redesign the sun in our 8th grade legacy mural. The rising sun as an image of renewal, should represent peace in all of us, so we shifted it to something with an uplifting feel. It was great to work with the students again, adding the final layer to the mural, evolving it.
