The murals were created by local female artists
in Austin, Chicago, New York, and San Francisco.
In honor of Mother’s Day, four artists have transformed major
cities across the United States – Austin, Chicago, New York and San
Francisco – beautifying them with heartwarming murals celebrating
mom and everything she does. The murals were created in partnership
with creative technology company Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut”) (NASDAQ:
CRCT), pronounced like cricket, to inspire and bring joy to the
communities they’re located in.
Utilizing the talent of local female artists in each city, the
murals are uniquely inspired by each artist’s experiences and
incorporate design elements made with the help of Cricut cutting
machines. Each piece of art also serves as a centerpiece in dynamic
neighborhoods within each city.
- Austin: Austin-based artist, Sadé Channell, has a
whimsical approach to compositions using the human form and dreamy
landscapes to symbolize and address various topics such as
representation, self-identity, and mental health. Her Cricit
Mother’s Day mural simultaneously uses hand-cut print collages with
paint to create strong visual imagery that can be seen festooning
504 Trinity in Downtown Austin.
- Chicago: Utilizing the Cricut cutting machine to design
elements of her Mother’s Day mural, Chicago-based freelance
illustrator, Katie Lukes channels her affinity for celebrating
everyday objects and scenarios within her work. Katie’s Cricut
Mother’s Day mural features herself and her mother and highlights
the many ways women are mothers. It brightens up 626 W. Randolph in
the West Loop, adding her unique brand of expression to the
bustling neighborhood.
- New York: Designed by New York-based mixed media artist,
muralist, and creative producer Bianca Romero, the Cricut Mother’s
Day mural, titled “Remembering Mothers,” illustrates that while
this holiday is a moment for celebration, it also can be difficult
for those who have lost their mothers. The design honors mothers
who have passed by showing them up in the clouds looking down on
those remembering them. “Remembering Mothers” adorns 102 Ludlow on
the Lower East Side and follows Bianca’s style that is heavily
influenced by her upbringing, growing up in both New York City and
Connecticut, as well as being half South Korean and half
Spanish.
- San Francisco: Childhood memories growing up as an
Asian-American kid in the Bay serves as a major inspiration for
independent illustrator and muralist, Alice Lee, who is based in
San Francisco. Nestled into the corner of 2701 Leavenworth and
North Point near San Francisco's famous Fisherman's Warf, Alice’s
Cricut Mother’s Day mural makes use of the cutting machine to
create stencils used in her work, which is dedicated to showing her
mom love and gratitude.
