During my junior year of high school, my school hired the incredible artist & muralist, Silvia López Chavez, to paint a mural on the side of our building. I was part of the student team that designed the mural and presented it to the public when it was finished. We spent a few weeks talking about what we wanted to include in it, and then one day during one of my online zoom classes (oops), I created the design (left) which ended up being chosen to be painted. The mural was created right after we returned from COVID, so we wanted to represent resilience and community. I thought of using triangles in the 'M' because triangles are a strong shape and can handle a lot of stress. (Next time you see a bridge, notice how many triangles are worked into the design!) Silvia and the team made some changes to the design and the final product came out even better! This was such a cool project to be a part of, and I love seeing the mural whenever I'm home.

I was able to be a part of a group of local artists who painted this mural at the Complex Trauma Treatment Center, in order to create a calming environment for young patients. This was truly an awesome experience and I am extremely grateful to Follow Your Art for providing this opportunity.
