Street painter Lorelle Miller poses with her latest street painting, created for a very worthy cause. Here is what she had to say about her art work and the festival...
Lorelle Miller: "Here is my latest street painting which was done in Tulare, California for The Suicide Prevention Task Force of Tulare County. I was invited to participate in the “Festival of Hope,” which bridged a very difficult topic with visual art acting as a conduit for the conversation."
"The piece is a variation of Abbott Handerson Thayer's Winged Figure. I added the Sunflowers which went with the theme. The piece was a 10' x 12' Street painting and it was very well received by the community. The imaged touched many who walked by and I believe the image, which portrays a sense of compassion, was perfect for the mission of this event."
"If you can reach just one single person to change their life around through a connection with an image like this, then you have done your job. I was very touched by many of the circumstances that I heard about over the weekend and I am very humbled by the opportunity to use my art for this purpose." - Lorelle A. Miller
