About The Artists

When I first began working on this site, it was my intention to use part of the “Welcome Page” to make note of a couple of the artists whose murals had caught my attention. I made reference to them, and provided a link to their home page.

A funny thing happened as I began taking more and more pictures throughout the city and really paying attention to the amazing work of these artists. My appreciation of the talent of all of the artists led me to add more and more names to that Welcome Page. As I learned more about them, I learned that in addition to giving the city the gift of their art, they give so much more to this community. Many of them are involved with special projects within the Mural Arts Program. These programs include the Community Mural, Art Education & Youth Development, Restorative Justice, and other Special Projects. In addition, some of the artists are also involved in community projects outside of their work with the Mural Arts Program.

As a result, I decided rather than either not giving proper credit to each artist I’ve listed on the various photo pages, or continuously adding names to the Welcome Page, I’ve added this page. I plan to list each of the artists listed on the photo pages, and hope to provide a link to their own website, or perhaps just an article or two about them that I found online if I couldn’t find a webpage they may have. At this time, I don’t have a link for all of the artists. Please feel free to send me any links for an artist I should include--or links that are better than what I have. As I add more pictures to the photo pages, I’ll be adding more artists below, as well as links to pages, articles, etc. As a result, this page will forever be considered “under construction.” By the way--on the photo pages, I list one - three of the artists who were noted as the artists for each mural. (I usually get the info from muralfarm.org.) However, these murals usually involve the work of many others who assisted in their design, painting, etc, but are not listed “officially” as the artists involved with the mural. At times, a community was involved in bringing these murals to life. While I don’t have them listed on the photo pages or below, the number of people who are involved is impressive.

So, in no particular order, here are the artists listed on the photo pages. I selected the pictures to the right somewhat randomly. They’re not matched to the specific artist on the left. They’re also not “thumbnails” so don’t bother clicking on them--unless you’ve got time to kill or need the exercise.
