Swiney Park: Collaboration with Swiney youth, facilitated by the Museum of Fine Arts Houston
I collaborated with a wide range of local children from the ages of six to sixteen. These individuals, the artists, decided as a group to create a mural that was a welcoming sign to their park. They picked significant sites from around the area to depict and created many drawings. I took these drawings, and cutting them out created a collage. Using these collages as guide, the artists then painted the sections that they had drawn, painting layer upon layer and finally outlining the forms with paint marker. They "signed" the mural with a border of hand prints.

Lincoln Park: Collaboration with Lincoln youth, facilitated by the Museum of Fine Arts Houston
I collaborated with a wide range of local teenagers ranging from the ages of twelve to sixteen. These individuals, the artists, decided as a group to create a mural depicting what was really important to them in their neighborhood. They picked significant sites from around the area, games, and activities to depict and created many drawings. I took these drawings, and cutting them out created a collage. Using these collages as guide, the artists then painted the sections that they had drawn, painting layer upon layer and finally outlining the forms with paint marker. They "signed" the mural with a border of hand prints.
There are six murals creating an installation. Displayed like billboards in a half circle, the murals on the outside reflect the landscape, the murals on the inside reflect the people doing their activities.
