Secret Garden Mural
29 Pieces, Trust for Public Land, Texas Trees Foundation, and Dallas ISD 10 Minute Walk Project asked me to create a mural inspired by drawings created by elementary students.
​
We asked them to imagine how their secret garden would look and used their drawings for inspiration.

For this mural, I wanted to ensure I represented each grade through their inspirational drawings. As I looked at their drawings, I imagined the children creating them, each one filling their blank pages with their imagination, creating their unique worlds, just as I did when I was little. I wanted this to become the interconnecting thread of the mural. I wanted the children to become co-protagonists of this story. Specifically, I wanted to show the connection between the children, their imagination, and nature.
