Spring Season

This installation is part of Indy Art & Seek, a project by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to pair artists and communities to create site-specific art that encourages neighborhood residents to see their surroundings in new ways.

As the artist explored the neighborhood, she was struck by the abundance of gardens and was inspired to create a bright, inviting mural celebrating the spirit of growth and community.  The vacant house is called Touba Gardens, and is intended as a future community center.
