Mezes Park Mural - Collaboration with José Castro

I was fortunate to collaborate with José Castro on designing and painting a colorful mural in Mezes Park. We had several meetings with the neighbors to hear what they wanted to see as a representation of their park and neighborhood. We included sports, buildings, children playing and the plants and animals we saw in the park. We honored the Ohlone people, the original caretakers of this land, by including a basket of the different foods that are native to the Bay Area. Ohlone chefs invited me to a feast that included the portrayed bounty.
