A Word From the Artist
I'm thankful to have been a part of Alianza's first mural project.
They approached me with their idea and asked if I could help bring their vision to life. They wanted the mural to symbolize the four main values of their organization: identity, culture, community, and resilience.
I enjoyed working alongside the youth and community painting together and seeing them bring color to the design. I'm happy to see their finished work finally showcased in their community.
