The “KARMA” mural installed at 390 Pine Street in Pawtucket represents intentional actions. Our actions, come back to us in the future, helping us to learn from the past and create a better future.
Our intention with this mural on Conant Street is to inspire the community and fill this once blighted space with light, energy and color. Anyone coming and going from this historic site will see the 5 impactful scenes depicting Growth, Building, Community, Service and Expansion within the community in which we live, teach, work and invest.
After the 2020 mill fires and during COVID-19, this project was imperative to bring some artistic light to a neighborhood in need of great revitalization work. This mural also supports Shri, a yoga outreach and wellness non-profit moving on site in late 2022, setting a positive tone for the neighborhood with a call to engage within it.
KARMA was developed with the help of the Pawtucket Public Art Program, who’s mission is to reflect the city’s identity, improve the quality of life for residents and visitors, stimulate city pride, attract economic development, and to engage artists and the community in the life of the city by acquiring and maintaining high-quality public art that is funded partially or fully with public monies and/or located on public property.

My artwork is the way I express joy bundled up inside of me. I like to design the way I see the world; full of color, shape and pattern in unlikely places. The “Supporting Pawtucket” hand painted mural is intended to inspire anyone coming and going from this once blighted industrial space into an urban oasis of community to “Support, Honor, Respect and Inspire” the community in which we live, teach, work and invest. A very personal project that evolved into a public arts project as the backdrop of opening night of the 2020 Pawtucket Art Festival.
The mural is one of ten local arts projects selected to receive funding from the annual competitive arts panel grants program offered by the city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
