Conceptualizing and creating murals is such a special and humbling experience. Each neighborhood is so different and it's a fun challenge to create something that will uplift each neighborhood uniquely. When standing on ladders for 4-5 days in a row, I get to feel the authentic spirit of whatever neighborhood I’m painting in. the social aspect of it is always encouraging and fun. I love interacting with locals and learning about peoples opinions on the art I’m creating. My main goal is putting out a positive message that could make someones day if they walk by it. A small gesture that might help spread positivity and brighten streets using art and design.
Atlantic Terminal hired MoCADA museum to commission 3 artists to create a mural for the community. I had to opportunity to design, produce and paint this mural with co-artists Audrey Lyall and Macy Rajacich. We wanted to create something with a friendly reminder to “Take it Easy”. Something to uplift the community in this time of uncertainty and stress.
