County of SD x Revision

“Diversity is a Fact, Inclusion is an Act!” This mural at Waterfront Park, beside the County of San Diego Administration Building, was created in collaboration with the County and Revision San Diego, a non profit studio for adult artists with disabilities where I worked as a creative mentor.

The project highlights the County’s commitment to neurodiversity and inclusive employment. Working with Revision’s resident artists, I gathered their ideas and sketches and refined them into a unified design featuring symbols of inclusivity such as the ASL “I love you” hand sign, a sunflower with a globe representing biodiversity, the rainbow infinity symbol for the autism community, a peace dove, a wheelchair symbolism accessibility, and a woven basket honoring Kumeyaay tradition.

After finalizing the design, I helped lead community paint days, mentoring participating artists through the mural process. Each participating artist was compensated for their time, energy, and ideas, reinforcing the project’s commitment to equity and respect for creative labor. This mural stands as a powerful example of collaboration, representation, and community pride, and is a project that reflects everything I care deeply about as an artist. I am honored to have been part of bringing it to life and grateful to the County of San Diego and Revision for making it possible.
