DOODLE MONSTER MURAL FREE

(The photo shows a detail of the mural.)ġ999 Silhouette Festival Calendar, Smoky Hill River Festival (Salina, KS) For the span of a day, I documented festival goers, by age, on a giant time line wall, by tracing around their bodies and helping them to print their hands within their silhouettes at the place where their hearts would be. I then incorporated these into a moveable mural that was exhibited at the conference. The stories and images were visually, thematically, and emotionally diverse, ranging from stories of career successes to poetry about perseverance to a narrative about overcoming sexual violence.

The theme for this mural was mixing up work and play.Ģ000 Stories of Triumph, Celebrate! Mural (Women Tell Their Stories Conference, Bethel College, North Newton, KS ) I invited conference-goers to mail in their stories and artwork about “triumph.” The response was overwhelming. During the last half of the program, the children drew imaginative animals and playful creatures, enlarged them onto big paper, and then arranged them into a lively mural in the girls bathroom of East Heights Elementary School.Ģ000 Mural at the Boys and Girls Club (Lawrence, KS) Artist Jane Wegscheider and I helped children translate their small drawings into large-scale group compositions on four walls of the art room at the Boys and Girls club. The participants brainstormed images based on the Langston Hughes poem, Let America Be America Again, and then painted a moveable mural that was displayed at the Langston Hughes symposium at the University of Kansas, and at the Lawrence Public Library.Ģ001 Bathroom Mural, East Heights Afterschool Program and the Lawrence Art Center (Lawrence, KS) I led this weekly afterschool art class with children who drew, made sculptures with wood, and created playful puppets with styrofoam balls and found materials. Â 2001 Langston Hughes Mural (Lawrence, KS) Artist Dave Loewenstein and I led this project with students from Lawrence High School. The mural is a dynamic interpretation of symbols often used in Japanese art, including cranes, pine trees, water, the moon, and bamboo. The panels, exhibited in the town’s Community Center, were placed in buildings along Main Street.Ģ001 Cranes (Lawrence, KS) I painted this mural in the Jack Hope Design-Build building (now Reed and Dillon Associates, 1213 E. I painted five moveable mural panels in my Lawrence studio (see photo) to celebrate Glasco businesses throughout this period, as well as the fifth year that Glasco’s historic district was placed on the National Register of Historic Districts. While not a community mural per say, a small community of people assisted with the creation of this mosaic and I welcome you to read all about them right here.Ģ008 Glasco: Historic Downtown District, Artist Residency (Glasco, KS) I spent a weekend with Glasco community leaders learning about the history of the businesses that comprised Glasco’s downtown, from 1890 – 1948. I adhered these materials to panels with mortar and then grouted. I used broken ceramic dishes, donated tiles, rocks, shells and hardware to make the mosaic. Red-winded Blackbirds, crows, a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, the Kansas landscape, cattails going to seed, and water are visual elements in the mosaic.
