  • Artist as a Citizen- Group Mural, Collaborative work on a large-scale mural for the St. Vincent De Paul Society in San Francisco. We worked with both navigation residents and other students to inspire social change through art. This was possible through personal conversations with the residents as well as asking their creative opinions on what the mural should include. My role was group artist leader, and I created the preliminary sketches for the final mural, which was then finalized with the help from the class's opinion.
