Another artistic imprint

ShareFest gets help from so many vital professionals and visionaries, and this is just one of them. Vanesa Andrade is a accomplished artist who has been involved with community beautification for years. On Saturday, she lent her skills to ShareFest and left her mark — in the form of murals — on a local preschool and community center.

This is what she had to say:
Dear friends, I need to share my experience with you, about Saturday, May 2: These are the Murals I created for Alta Vsta Preschool, Redondo Beach, and for Greenbelt Wilmington Community Center with the amazing participation of the community! It was such a amazing experience!

Teachers, children, parents, neighbors were all so happy to give their time and great energy to embellish these buildings that are part of their everyday life! At the end of the day I was so tired but so happy that when  I closed my eyes and I kept on seeing all those happy faces! It was just a fulfilling experience! I will be sending you more pictures! I feel so good to be able to offer my art to the community!

—Vanesa

Wether it was by painting, planting, passing out lunch, doing laundry or participating in any project on May 2, every volunteer left an imprint on the South Bay and Harbor communities.

Please keep posting your stories!
