Hispanic Heritage Month

window mural for Excel Academy East Boston, MA

About this piece:

I was honored to design the vibrant window mural at Excel Academy in East Boston for Hispanic Heritage Month, a tribute to the amazing Latino students and their rich culture. The mural transformed the school's windows into a shining display that celebrates the unity and diversity of the Hispanic community. At the heart of the design, I placed a Mexican Calavera surrounded by colorful elements that reflect our cultural pride.

I’ll admit, as a perfectionist, I started out feeling nervous about the project. But after just an hour of sketching, high school students gathered around me, offering their support and appreciation. Their encouragement was like a chorus of angels, reminding me to trust my own talent and the power of inspiration. This experience reinforced the message: don’t let fear hold you back from inspiring others.
