Protest Murals

2020-21 | Art to support and inspire the George Floyd Protesters in Columbus OH , and to underline the fact that Black lives really do matter.

Started in May of 2020, in reaction to the Black Lives Matter Protest, I found another way to express my perspectives through art, and use it to educate, and inspire hope, contemplation, & conversation.

Thankful to all the business owners in Columbus who invited me to rise to the challenge of producing live art in support of a movement focused on social justice and human rights, and to paint #blackwordsinwhitespaces. I’m not sure how long I’ll get chances to do this work, but I’m enjoying the learning curves and the chances to work with friends, new and old!

The mural that started a visual avalanche was located across from the Ohio Statehouse. It was an invitation from CAPA and was led by Blockfort Studios in a collaboration lead by Adam Brouillette, and Jen Wrubleski, and joined by Andy Graham and me. I stand with creative giants!

The first week after the violent start of the protest

A week after that…

I landed my first solo mural in June

FitClub invited me to paint wisdom from James Baldwin.

Invited by Jen Gable to paint Audre Lorde’s words onto a fence in Linden. This was a new and compelling challenge. Hot day too!

Easton invited a group of artists to celebrate Black history and Women’s history months, wrapping our composition around the old Bon Vie building.

My August, I was leading my first HUGE mural and a group of volunteer painters to surround ADAMH with my brand of creative care.
