I thought Valentine’s Day would be a good time to tell you that I did my first mural! I’ve taken spray paint to many things before, including walls, but I’ve never done anything big. I’m not artistically inclined, but I still wanted to do something big and colorful. I thought hearts would be something bright and fun people could enjoy, so I set off to paint some neon hearts on the side of a white building on a side street in a not-so-colorful part of Charm City.

You can check out a little footage Maura took of me painting and twirling around, too! If you’re in the area and want to find the mural yourself, you can check it out at Harford Avenue and the corner of Monument Avenue (the closest big intersection is Harford and Ensor). Yay!!
