This project was very exciting, very hard, and very rewarding. My inspiration for my pieces came from a deep love for Malden as my hometown. I was born abroad and grew up between two countries, three states and half a dozen towns and cities before my husband and I settled with our young family in Malden. These have become the best years of our lives, and turning local scenes and community into art is a way of preserving memories. I think it is such a cool privilege to leave a piece of myself on the streets of the city I’ve loved. Malden is a growing city and I’ve tried to capture that energy in these pieces. The scenes are frozen moments of time, but also fluid with a sense of both history and future
