As my first public art project, it was one of biggest projects I ever had to tackle. As someone who’s only done small canvases, I thought this task seemed impossible to me. However, my only limitation was my mind and my brain tricked me into thinking it was going to be difficult. Once I started and progressed along on this signal box, I really enjoyed the creative process and the many compliments I received during those few weeks.

Having people from Carson City honking and shouting out “Thank you!” as I worked on my signal box became the highlight of every time I have worked on my project. Plus it really helped me calm my anxiety as well.
