Mix Mexican mural painting with Southern quilting.
Add a dash of Tibetan wall hanging and Monet waterlily.
Wrap in Twombly's childlike playful energy, and presto
- an East Dallas hip-hop graffitizzed celebration of life.

November 2008 - new era dawns - so serendipitous for these little guys from Pleasant Grove as their formal education takes flight. Kindergartners, 1st, and 2nd graders from Ireland Elementary, created a work of art worthy of any contemporary gallery. Myself, along with Big Thought/Thriving Mind's Erin Adams and Lauren Punch went on a fun journey with the students. Our after school mural project had a dedicated core group of 25, but at least 40 young artists lent their pairs of hands. And some, literally gave the shirts off their backs.
