Collaborative Murals
City of Garland
The community of Garland was invited to collaborate on a public art piece installed at 506 Art in downtown Garland.
Children and adults were invited to participate in the creating of the first layers of this mural. Paint was applied with squirt guns and paint balloons to create a fun splatter effect.
After facilitating the community paint day, the community's layer was transformed into the finished design.
The final mural included individual shapes that showcased different areas of the community's contribution.

Uptown Dallas
This community mural was installed in several public locations around Uptown Dallas during the pandemic.
Community members were invited to write messages of gratitude on the individual shapes within the design.
Over the course of a several months, the mural was filled in with gratitude from members of the community.
By the end of this temporary installation, the entire mural was filled with the community's messages of gratitude.
Lakewood Neighborhood
In the heart of the Lakewood Community, residents collaborated to create a permanent neighborhood landmark.
The community showed up for a painting day to create the first layers of the mural, with guidelines to show where to add their brushstrokes.
All ages, from children to adults were invited to share in the experience of creating this mural celebrating the community.
Willow Montessori School
For this project, the students of Willow Montessori School became the artists behind their own masterpiece.
The students filled in the first layer of paint with their individual brushstrokes, and the final design was then refined to create individual pieces making up the larger pattern.
