Community Care Mural

Created for Planned Parenthood of West Michigan

I have been heavily involved in activism work from a very young age, I am a big supporter of organizations like Planned Parenthood so I was absolutely thrilled when I was asked to create a mural piece for the entryway of my local clinic. Although this project was years in the making, it had come to fruition at the perfect time. Following the 2022 ruling on Roe v. Wade, I found solace in creating this powerful piece. In such a time, I needed to create something that will uplift and inspire those who see it. The wide range of people exhibits this is a space for all. For many of the figures I intentionally made their features subjective as people of all genders, skin tones, and cultures need these essential healthcare services. As someone who has utilized the many services of Planned Parenthood it was so important for me to bring comfort to those who are coming for healthcare who may be frightened or nervous. I wanted this piece to emit messages such as “you are not alone”, “this is a safe space”, and “you are strong”. I am so incredibly proud of this piece and I hope those who see it feel the healing and inspiring energy that this piece gave me while creating it.
