School Murals and Workshops

Kids Guernica

The following represent some of the more than forty school murals that I have coordinated. From fifteen to thirty students are involved with each stage of mural design and realization, beginning with developing themes, drawing up scaled designs, preparing the wall surface and then painting the mural. From concept to completion, projects take from twenty hours to several months to complete. Most school mural projects are funded either through Artstarts in the Schools or the Vancouver School Board's Artist in Residence program.

Kid's Guernica is a portable, world-travelling children's peace mural that involved more than 100 children, and was painted during a three-day workshop in Richmond, B.C. 1997.
