Fall of my senior year of highschool, Friends of the Santa Fe Trail reached out to my International Baccalaureate Art class to see if anyone would be interested in painting a mural. I was quick to jump at the opportunity and organized a group of students to paint this football field sized bridge. After working on the design and layout with my art teacher, Jessica Martinez, I worked on figuring out how to fundraise for the materials. The Friends of the Santa Fe Trail helped to organize a donation system where each letter was sponsored. This allowed us to buy all of the paint we needed. We starting painting in the spring and finished a few days after graduation. This project was the focus of my Girl Scout Gold Award, as I was able to continue care of the mural and ensure its protection with a graffiti protective layer. This mural is meant to help beautify the trail by discouraging graffiti and welcoming people to an entrance of the trail.
