“Throughout my career, I’ve indulged my creative side through what I call ‘crafts,’ but my friends call art,” says architectural engineer Gretchen Coleman. “I aspire to do kinetic art and larger scale junk art, and I believe my engineering background will help get me there. I just need to retire so I can take a welding class!
“Roanoke started something amazing when artists painted the END RACISM NOW mural,” she says. “What collaboration and individuality! I hope the community continues working together in this way.
“It is truly a gift to live here,” says Coleman. “Roanoke has so much to offer, and every place shown has meaning to me. Plus, the star makes an awesome tiara! I hope viewers have some fun deciphering the locations, and I hope they get as much joy from our city as I do.”
