Located in Philadelphia SEPTA’s Suburban Station, my art gives me a voice by Philadelphia artist Lisa Kelley was created for Mural Arts Philadelphia in 2022.
More from Mural Arts:
The mural was inspired by the chirps of bluebirds, wrens, and chickadees that Kelley listens to when she walks in a park to clear her mind. Kelley hopes that the mural, which features suns, flowers, geometric shapes, and mandalas, is meant to evoke feelings of healing and growth and will uplift the spirits of people who see it.
The designs used in the mural are from printmaking workshops that Kelley led for participants of Mural Arts’ Color Me Back program, a same-day work and pay program in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services that combines participatory art-making and access to social services.
Another of her murals, Let Your Dreams Take Flight, is currently on view at Philadelphia International Airport in Terminal A. It is just one of the many works on display as part of Art at PHL, the airport’s Exhibitions Program.
