Portage Park/Craigin Library Summer Art Project for Interns:
2023 Starts with the End of the Stairwell Murals at Hibbard Elementary
Murals – Summer/Fall 2022
2022 late summer and fall included 5 murals: a stairwell mural, “The Immigrants” for Hibbard Elementary summer program; a small 10′ mural of the NYSE for an office conference room, a 100′ underpass mural, “…And the Bees” for the Old Irving Park area, a 20’x40′ “Stay Tuned” mural for CANTv’s new building and a 10’x100′ group mural which I organized and painted in part, “Music You Can See” funded by the Six Corners Association. As I write this I am also working on the 4th of 4 stairwell murals for Hibbard Elementary with the students in an after-school program.
2022 Murals
Working indoors for the winter months of early 2022 has meant a beautiful floral mural for the new bar, The Albion Manor, two bathroom murals for their parlor, a three-story stairwell mural @Hibbard Elementary School in Albany Park, , a postal area and a community room mural for the new 5150.
2021 MURALS
2021 started with a bright and humorous announcement of LAKE EFFECT BREWING’s planned move to the former firehouse in Jefferson Park. Then it was going “underground” to the riverfront to add a photo op vista to a grey boat slip space. Rounding out the year was an after school program with 5th and 6th graders @Hibbard Elementary in Albany Park – another stairwell mural)
Late Summer 2021 FINALLY meant approval to paint the new Irving Park Gateway Mural @Kolmar designed by Jill Arena and painted by me with a few student volunteers and the always wonderful Jerry !
