How long have you been painting and creating your own work out in the street?
How did aWall come about?
Registered Artist
What inspired me to create aWall was seeing some of my peers creating their own art projects.
The biggest challenge I faced at first was just figuring how to start.
I think thats the hardest thing, taking that first step.

I believe that the fear of failing holds so many back from doing something great.

What was the process for getting walls?
Did you feel that schools were receptive?
Congo
With our first project, the walls were selected for us.
They really put their faith in us to do a good job and deliver on our promises.
Since then, they have placed more trust in the process and have allowed us more freedom to create.

How do you think that street art can enhance public space?
It went from a blighted area of Miami to an art mecca recognized worldwide.
This has led to more community involvement and increased attendance in these schools.
