Hart Village Mural, “Jewels of the Earth”
The Hart Village Mural is located in a low-income housing project. This project was very special because the children of the project helped me in making the tiles. Our Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa came on February 25, 2008 and dedicated the mural and spent time talking to the children and letting them take photographs.
