I truly appreciated all your support throughout this project - your awesome attitude as well as art and organizational skills were impeccable. Because of your dedication and hard work, our culture mural was a grand success. From start to finish, you were an incredible partner to work with and we’ll be sure to sing your praises! Also, you were so amazing and accommodating to our every request! Additionally, I was very impressed with how you stayed on-task with such efficiency over the last two weeks - the wall looks fabulous and we will be able to cherish for many years to come. Again, I couldn't have done it without your commitment of time and energy to make this project come alive!

On a personal note, it was amazing to see the public's reaction to your work and the happiness that it evoked. Thank you to the artists who put their heart and soul into the designs that truly emulate Downtown Chandler.

I had a blast painting this mural at Lil’ Einsteins Academy. I enjoyed collaborating on ideas with Lil’ Einsteins. My inspiration came from many years of exploring nature and gardening. It’s fun to find the whimsy gardens naturally bring. I made everything oversize because I wanted to remember what it was like as a kid to explore a leaf or a bug for the first time, and I wanted to bring that same wonder to all ages.

I enjoyed volunteering and working with a large group of other artists at The Family Advocacy Center. We came together and worked many hours to finish this large project.
