Murals by Silvia López Chavez: Uplifting Connections
Starting with one of the newest of many murals by Silvia López Chavez, I want to share some images, notes, and rich resources that convey my enthusiasm for her art and process.

Indoor Activity Develops Outdoor Imagery for Mystic River Mural Panels
Thanks to David Fichter, one morning in August 2018 I got to visit the Mystic River Mural team at work in the Mystic Activity Center.
