L.A. IS NO STRANGER TO STREET & PUBLIC ART

When I first moved to L.A, I had never before seen so much beautiful, colorful street art in my entire life! I admire and appreciate all of the beautiful, artistic souls we have in this city who paint incredible murals for others to enjoy & be inspired by.

I'm also a fan of public art because 1) it give individuals a platform to express themselves, 2) promotes the importance of art, creativity, and imagination in a society that thrives on structure, and 3) challenges us to stop and ask ourselves "Wait... What is that? How does that make me feel? What does this represent to me or my community?"
