Over the course of four weeks, mural artist Gustavo led a transformative mural painting workshop with a group of young people with additional needs at Jets Studios Banyule. The results were nothing short of inspiring! The workshop was designed not just to teach the technical skills of mural art but to empower the young people to find and express their voices through a collaborative artistic process. From the very beginning, Gustavo's passion for both art and community engagement was evident. He approached the young people with respect and consideration, treating them as equal partners in the creative process. This approach fostered an environment where young people felt safe to share their ideas, explore new techniques, and ultimately contribute meaningfully to the mural’s design and execution. The workshop structure was well-balanced, blending instructional sessions with hands-on practice. Gustavo demonstrated various mural techniques, from sketching initial concepts queering young peoples values and imagery association as well as his fun and engagement tools (art dice!) Each week his workshops were tailored to meet the diverse skill levels within the group, ensuring that everyone, regardless of experience, could actively participate. One of the standout aspects of this workshop was how Gustavo encouraged participants to infuse their personal stories and community concerns into the mural. Through guided discussions and brainstorming sessions, the group identified themes that resonated with them, such as identity, resilience, and hope for the future. Gustavo skillfully wove these themes into the mural's narrative, resulting in a piece that was not only visually striking but also deeply meaningful. Ultimately naming the mural 'Peace, Love & Ukulele" Throughout the project, Gustavo was patient and attentive, providing individual feedback while encouraging collective decision-making. His ability to maintain a balance between guiding the young people and giving them autonomy was remarkable. This approach empowered the participants to take ownership of the project, which was reflected in their dedication and enthusiasm and ultimate great outcome! The final mural was a vibrant and dynamic representation of the voices of the young people involved. It stood as a testament to their creativity and the power of art as a medium for expression and social commentary. The sense of pride and accomplishment among the the group was felt amongst the group, with many expressing how the workshop had given them a new sense of confidence and a desire to continue exploring art. In conclusion, Gustavo’s four-week mural workshop was a great success. It not only provided the young people with valuable artistic skills but also gave them a platform to express their voices and connect with their community. Gustavo’s approach was both professional and compassionate, making this experience not just about creating art but about fostering growth, collaboration, and empowerment.

Anything nerdy, really. I would love to work on more book covers, album art and game art. I love fantasy and science fiction, and making anything in this genre is very exciting. I also love painting epic landscape and nature scenes.

I commissioned Heidi to create a very personal gift for a friend, and I love what she created. Heidi was fabulous throughout the whole experience - super responsive, flexible, and took the time and care to check in every step along the way to make sure she was delivering on my vision. Would definitely recommend Heidi :)
