🌿 From Digital Dreams to City Walls: My First Mural

Some dreams start as scribbles in a notebook. Mine began as a line on paper: “One day, I’ll create a massive collage on the side of a building.

Now, let me be clear: I am not a traditional painter. You won’t find me with brushes and oils, layering paint like the masters I deeply admire. My art speaks a different language; it’s a mix of digital collage, photography, and illustration. I weave images, textures, and symbols into something new. That’s always been my lane.

But deep down, I always carried this dream: what if one day, someone let me take that collage magic and blow it up big, audacious, unmissable on the side of a building?

Well… someone did. Some bold, brave soul said yes to my vision, and suddenly my “big-ass collage mural” (yep, that’s the technical term 😂) came to life. I wrote it down, I believed it could happen, and now it’s real. Thank God!

Standing in front of it, I felt this rush of gratitude and possibility. It reminded me that writing down your dreams and speaking them out loud is powerful. It makes me want to write even more of them down because if this could happen, what else is waiting for me?

And here’s the thing: dreams are never achieved alone.

🌸 First, thank you to David, without you, this wouldn’t have been possible (just like so many other beautiful things in my journey). I am endlessly grateful.

🌸 Thank you to the amazing crew at It’s a Wrap, who printed and installed my mural with such precision and care.

🌸 And thank you to every single person who stopped by while we worked, who smiled, shared their thoughts, or stood and took it in. Your energy also became part of this piece.

This mural isn’t just a wall…it’s a reminder:

✨ Dream big.
✨ Know what you want.
✨ Believe you deserve it.

Because you do.
