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.

After 25 years of their high school existing, a group of boys in Dane County Jail had the thought “Why don’t we have a mascot?” We only had 2 weeks to make it and I couldn’t go inside. Regardless, with all around dedication, we made it happen and it was a miracle.

Witnessing homeless people & art enthusiasts alike looking in awe at the sculptures in the window drove me to understand this work really isn’t me, it’s all of us and I was honored to share it with every person who laid eyes on it, and stood in wonder at a piece of themselves staring back.

I’ve had a lot of fun painting the streets of Madison & Monona, WI over the past few years, in total about 20 pieces. The survivors along Monona Drive and Atwood Ave are about a 10 minute drive from start to finish. Take a stroll and check them out!
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.

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.

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.
