Livermore Mural

Written By Ari Takata-Vasquez

Last week I had a blast doing a large scale mural in Downtown Livermore with OnlyUp. For this project, I collaborated with two other women artists, Lady Henze and Everyday Hooray, and I couldn’t have asked for better collaborators. Britt (LadyHenze) did her magic with the geometric background, Caren (Everyday Hooray) brought the funk with her typography, and I did my thing with florals.

For this project, I learned how to operate a boom lift which was a big feat for me as someone who’s scared of heights but I meditated my way through it and after the first couple of hours I was able to power through and forget I was 3 stories up in the air.
