Boys Hope Girls Hope
East View
This view represents the stages of progress and development each child receives as part of the Boys Hope Girls Hope family. From left to right, we see children growing up, being educated, and graduating, ready to “unlock” their futures. With mentorship, and a safe and supportive environment, BHGH transforms at risk children into strong, independent, and successful adults, who are ready to face the world.
West View
This idyllic scene celebrates the area’s rich history as a center of commerce and boatbuilding throughout the 19th century. Prior to 1855, this area was known as Fulton (named for Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat), and had emerged as one of the busiest boatbuilding centers along the country’s interior waterways. Multiple boatyards maintained a reputation known the world over for producing vessels of the highest level of craftsmanship and elegance.
Designed by Andrew Neyer. I worked on this lenticular design, painted on metal panels, as an apprentice.
Meet the Artist
Cincinnati, United StatesMy name is Tamia, aka "Turtle Child". (artist name) I'm an illustrator and muralist based in the beautiful Cincinnati,OH. I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, and took up mural painting in 2014 and have loved doing it for 10 years. I enjoy seeing art come to life on many different surfaces throughout my city. The are so many stories to tell, and I want to see them all!
I frequently use the chrysanthemum flower as a motif for the heart. This is my way of showcasing the many forms the heart can take in the face of human emotions. Emphasizing its fragility and constant need for care. I rely on storytelling through imaginative illustrations and character designs to further expand on this idea. By taking this approach, I try to reassure others they are not alone in their pursuit for emotional peace.
