As an art facilitator, I specialize in collective mural projects that beautify the schools, empower students, and create community.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
Specialization: Painting, Murals, Collective ProjectsMURALS
Turn those blank school walls into something beautiful and meaningful! Students will create a mural to express themselves and develop a sense of community. The inspiration is sparked by the students and I guide them to bring their idea to reality as they leave their mark on the school.
Not just limited to walls - I have done projects where students paint on shipping containers, tables, chairs and bulletin boards. Let’s transform your school together!
