This week has been different for me. I’ve been working on a mural assisting another artist to bring her vision to life.
I’ve been wanting to do more in the public art realm for a while. It’s important to me that art be in the world so everyone can have it in their lives, but while I’ve applied to calls for public art for years, I’ve had very little success. So when the opportunity came up to help Georgie Nakima @gardenofjourney, I jumped at it, and let her know that I’m an experienced painter and that I know how to operate a boom lift. So this week, between teaching classes, I’ve been working on one of Georgie’s murals with a team of artists, and I’m happy to be able to fulfill my goal to bring art out into the community.
This is the last week to help me raise funds so that I can donate to recovery efforts in Western NC. I am donating 50% of all sales in October to help out disaster relief efforts in the Appalachians. Find available work here.
