"Let Peace Begin Here"


Here is my latest art project for the Woodfin Elementary school in a small township outside of Asheville, NC in western Carolina. 

My sign is placed in the Peace Garden at the school where the children are enjoying making handmade ornaments. Their ornaments are including pine cones covered in peanut butter then rolled in bird seed for our outdoor feathered friends!

This sign became more than just a project. It became a 'labor of love' and inner 'peace'; the hand print is Justin's from age three. I thought it fitting to stencil his print and paint it in every color of every ethnicity, 

The stars contain words that he and I discussed many times as he grew up: love, kindness, understanding, compassion, acceptance, and tolerance.

and...wouldn't it be wondrous to experience World Peace in our lifetime? 

There is always Hope!

I remain Justin's [optimistic] momma
