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.

Metro Panthers - Our Community Strengthened Through Jail

What started with students in jail wanting a mascot to be proud of and to stand in front of for their graduation pictures, lead to the ripple effect of four murals and a logo being created, ultimately strengthening our community from the inside out.

Shelter Project “I Belong” - The Story

Because of the relaxed environment and getting to know everyone, it was easy to forget these teens were there for a reason. At one point we had to move the table closer to the garage so we could plug in an ankle bracelet, and only in times like these was I reminded that some of them committed crimes. This project showed me it starts with knowing ourselves, bit by bit relaxing into who we were and realizing the potential of who we can become.

"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.

Look Within Mural Featured in The Cap Times!

“Instead of a drab cinderblock wall, the first and last image that youth confined to the Dane County juvenile detention center, located in the City-County Building, now see on their way to and from court is a large mural meant to communicate tranquility and mindfulness.”

Working with Teens at Dane County Juvenile Detention Center

I was invited to paint a mural with teens at the Juvenile Detention Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Most of the youth there are awaiting their court date, so it can be a pretty intense atmosphere, which is why the Making Justice Program started connecting artists with teens to brighten the space
