Q: Please give a short description of yourself and your work.

A: I am a community muralist who works with specific groups of people to help them express themselves through murals. Usually the murals end up in public spaces that are part of that specific community, like a school or community center, and are funded by non-profit youth-based organizations or grants that aim to beautify and create some kind of community engagement.
