Comics are an amazing way to capture moments from life or ideas for stories in illustration and short writing, either to share them with others or to keep as journal entries. Have an idea for a story? Want to develop a memoir comic? Great for folks with a little bit of drawing experience or storycrafting, or for developing ideas.

This mural project has been designed to be as fully community collaborative and inclusive as possible of folks who work with The Arc.
Beginning with the concept stages, community members were invited to participate in focus groups to discuss imagery, color, and narrative in murals that connect to ideas of healthy living.
Community members gave their perspectives on what healthy living looks like for them, as well as feedback on style choices and specific images that are preferred or non-preferred to represent healthy living. After collecting this information, I supported the project by creating a concept sketch. The sketch includes key elements that recurred in the focus group sessions: sunshine, outdoors, healthy foods and physical activities like biking, hiking and Tai Chi. The most important aspect that recurred frequently was being with the people who support and love us in our activities.
