Artist Alicia Schultz will take up her paintbrush at Kenton Women’s Village Aug. 16-17 to add beauty and meaning to a new fence.
For security and privacy at the tiny home village, a team of volunteers from Tivnu, a Jewish gap year group, constructed a 10-foot-tall wooden wall at the village entrance. The planks are 120-square feet just calling to be made into art.
Artist Alicia Schultz will paint a mural at the entry of Kenton Women’s Village.
Schultz is a Portland muralist and illustrator who created Vine & Thistle, a company that creates lettering, botanical art and illustrations for stationery, surface designs, murals and other surfaces. Learn more here: https://www.vineandthistle.com/about.
“In my work, I want to capture and inspire joy in everyday moments,” says Schultz, who is married with two children. “The mural design will be botanicals — colorful, bright flowers, creating a joyful welcome for the women who live there.”
Volunteers are needed for painting day to assist Schultz by painting her design at her direction, setting up and cleaning up. If you are interested go to https://www.cervistech.com/acts/console.php?console_id=0305&console_type=event_list&ht=1&event_id=1022 or scan the QR code.
