I hadn’t ever heard of a virtual mural until I met Laurie Marshall, founder of Unity Through Creativity (www.unitythroughcreativity.net). Check the UTC website for more info about how you can participate.

I participated in a two hour workshop titled: “What Cannot Be Taken Away, A Visual Arts Workshop,” taught by Evan Bissell yesterday. The focus was “Health and Healing as Justice.” Two quotes Evan shared resonated with me.
“You have to have the ocrrect analysis to have the correct conclusion.” – Elaine Brown, a former leading member of the Black Panther Party, author, and advocate for juvenile justice.
“Breathing in, I see myself as still waters. . . breathe out, I see things as they are. ” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Yesterday my teacher had some wise words to a budding artist. He said don’t try to figure out what is going to sell by where the market is. Don’t try to invent something new. The only thing unique is YOU, so keep making art and seeing what makes you light up, what you love to paint. Just keep going. You will find your voice.
