"You;Matter" public art about suicide awareness and prevention - click link

I love to paint on walls.

Why?

• For social change, for fun, for wildlife protection, for impact. And I love meeting you wild ones out in the public!

Where?

• Lafayette, Broomfield, Longmont, Fort Collins, Denver and Arvada.

Colorado is my canvas.

When?

• I paint outside while it's warm, May-September, and indoors anytime. I'm planning murals most of the year.

"Don't Worry, every little thing is gonna to be alright" 2020. Tif Choate, with Derek Rogers, the arm model. Painted during the Covid Pandemic. The building was torn down ;( in 2023.

Access to creative expression is for everyone. It's an important part of the fabric of society.
