Project Title: New Worlds to Travel

Libraries are so important. They play vital roles in a community. Painting the traffic box outside of Kennedy Library will hopefully draw attention to this valuable resource.

Bio: A mom and daughter team who loves to paint!

Hi. My name is Erica. I’m the Mom. I am a self taught artist. I have been painting, in earnest, for 5 year. I have had a solo show at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. I have had a piece shown at the Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville. And last year I painted a Box! Box! in front of Muncie Fire Station 2, Hackley and Memorial.

Hi! I’m Spencer, I’m the daughter. I am 8 years old. I like to play video games, ride horses and read Junie B Jones. The reason I’m doing this is because I like to paint and I like to paint with my mom. She usually draws the picture and I paint it. I like to paint video game characters. I like to paint because it's fun and it's full of imagination.
