Finally getting to post one of my favorite projects to date. This year @moralyssa and I did a whole slew of designs for @juneteenthjoyfest For a few months we worked on the following posters, stage banners and signs, various social media graphics, templates for artists, typography, color palette, and various assets to be used for merch. All in all it was a lot of fun and we had a blast seeing all these things come to life at the festival. Big shout out to the homie @afra_m00n

The summer so far has consisted of time spent with family, bike riding, and making art for and with community. I wouldn’t have it any other way…. Well maybe some more time spent in water but soon come!

@moralyssa’s "Joy. Hope. Love." perfectly embodies the theme of Joy as Resistance for #2025SWMF. ⁠💜🌼⁠
⁠
A giant coneflower stretches upward toward the sun and boldly proclaims “Joy is resistance. Hope is discipline. Love is courage." The message emphasizes joy, hope, and love as requiring everyday action. The flower seemingly grows from the concrete sidewalk beneath it, emphasizing the optimistic power of Alyssa’s message. ⁠
⁠
The orange spiky center, lavender petals, and sage stem mimic the colors of coneflowers found throughout Boulder, while the dark red background allows the flower to pop off of the wall. The artist is also a graphic designer, a practice that influences her murals. This mural in particular utilizes various typographies and handlettering that Alyssa also employs in her graphic design work. ⁠
⁠
“Flowers also bring me a lot of joy in my life and I love having them at home and seeing them out in the world,” says Alyssa. “When I was looking into different flowers and their symbolism, the cone flower stood out as a symbol of resilience. I love how they look like they're standing with pride and looking up towards the sky, it felt like the perfect fit for the message.”⁠
⁠
Considered a sacred plant, purple coneflowers have a rich history of medicinal use by Native Americans, who used it to treat fevers, sore throats, and insect and snake bites. Bees and butterflies love these flowers, increasing pollination and the surrounding ecosystems. Additionally, coneflowers are drought resistant plants, perfect for semi-arid environments like the Front Range. ⁠
⁠
These traits lend themselves to the coneflower being a symbol of strength, resilience, and vibrancy.⁠ Thank you for this loving reminder, Alyssa! 💓⁠

2025 Has come and gone in no time at all. I don’t think words can describe the full range of emotions I had from a year like this past one. From getting engaged on our NYC trip to doing some of my favorite projects ever. To becoming a parent and learning that no level of preparation can really ready one for the journey of fostering a new life. But it’s been fun, even the challenges have been fun and I’m lucky to be in the thick of it with @moralyssa I wouldn’t have it any other way!

THANK YOU to our Boulder community, festival attendees, tour goers, artists, volunteers, board members, grantors, and sponsors for making this the best Street Wise Mural Festival yet!⁠
⁠
This year, we had 12 incredible artists install 11 new murals in celebration of joy as resistance (plus some awe-inspiring projection mapping by @dsdi_). We hope these public artworks create space for pause, reflection, and regeneration and help our community unite in the face of our ever-changing world. There is more that brings us together than divides us⁠ ❤️⁠
⁠
Whether you joined a tour, browsed our pop-up gallery, passed by a mural, attended our closing party, or just gave us a like or follow on socials, we truly appreciate the love and support. Street Wise Arts has a small but mighty team and this mural festival takes a village!⁠
⁠
👉️ Please take our festival attendee survey! This information is critical for us to report engagement and impact to our grantors and donors, and to improve attendee experiences in the future.⁠

Here’s to six years of watching @moralyssa put paint on walls. Definitely inspired me to start doing art again all those years ago too. Last picture is a bonus cause she was supposed to be painting @italvitalliving with me but had just found out she was pregnant and was getting her ass beat by morning sickness!

@moralyssa is a graphic designer and artist, born and raised in Denver, CO. Alyssa has a BFA in Communication Design from Metropolitan State University of Denver. As a designer, she has a love for typography and hand-lettering, which she often includes in her work. Her work is inspired by positive affirmations, social justice issues, and anything that inspires connection and community.⁠
⁠
Although graphic design is her 9-5, Alyssa loves to get creative and finds joy in exploring other mediums like painting, tufting, and jewelry making. ⁠
⁠
Check out Alyssa painting live along with 10 other muralists at the #2025SWMF in beautiful Boulder, Colorado this September 26 + 27!⁠
