I’m gathering stories and reflections for the new Make Waves Murals website—and I’d love to include your voice.

There’s something so special about seeing your designs come to life as part of someone else’s story. Whether it’s being the backdrop in a video, adding charm to a recipe display, or becoming a visual thread in a business’s branding, it always puts a big smile on my face. Knowing my work is helping small businesses in our community shine inspires me to keep creating. It’s an honor to be part of the journey, one brushstroke at a time. 💛

✨ Work in Progress ✨ I’m excited to share a sneak peek of one of my most ambitious pieces yet! This design features multiple portraits, each with its own story, creating a storybook-inspired theme that kids can truly connect with. Through vibrant colors and illustrated goals, I hope every child feels seen and represented. This piece celebrates the diverse and dynamic student community in this part of the school, bringing life and inclusivity to the space. Stay tuned for the finished mural—it’s going to be magical! 🌟

Art education is an essential component of any well-rounded education system. Public schools need to prioritize art education because it not only elevates students' literacy levels but also inspires them to reach new goals.

Art education allows students to develop their creativity and imagination, which are crucial skills for success in any field. It also helps students to better understand and appreciate different cultures and art forms, which in turn helps to foster empathy and understanding. Research has also shown that art education can improve students' cognitive abilities, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

Moreover, art education can inspire students to set new goals and strive for excellence. By providing opportunities for students to showcase their artistic talents, schools can motivate them to work harder and achieve their full potential. This can not only benefit the students but also contribute to the overall success of the school and the community.

The new mural downtown featuring colorful botanicals at the Glasshouse on Jefferson St. is definitely a spot you don't want to miss! The art is a stunning display of botanical shapes and structures, adorned with beautiful gold spheres that will take your breath away. This unique bar is the perfect backdrop for a fun night out with friends or a romantic date with your significant other.

Not only is it a great spot for a night out, but the mural also provides a great opportunity to take some amazing pictures. You'll be able to snap photos that are sure to impress your friends on social media. The combination of bright botanicals and sleek concrete makes for a modern and trendy aesthetic that's perfect for Instagram.
