Artist Questions What is your experience working with apprentices or mentees? <br /> As a young muralist, I had the opportunity to lead and mentor emerging <br /> artists through the City of Santa Ana's Youth Mural Program. Working with <br /> apprentices has been a deeply enriching experience-just as they learn from <br /> me, I learn from them. I teach techniques, safety protocols, and best <br /> practices for preserving the integrity of public art, while also emphasizing <br /> community engagement and artistic collaboration. My most recent project in <br /> the Artesia Pilar neighborhood included mentoring in both mural painting <br /> and mosaic tile work, resulting in a beautiful fusion of experience and fresh <br /> creativity. <br /> How does the mural reflect historical or contemporary themes? <br /> This historic 1976 Chicano mural, located in the heart of El Salvador Park <br /> in Santa Ana, CA, beautifully captured the essence of a Sunday afternoon, <br /> reflecting the culture and spirit of the community. Beloved by many, it stood <br /> as an iconic representation of Chicano identity, lowrider culture, and <br /> everyday life.Unfortunately, in the 1980s, the mural was sandblasted and <br /> lost. Now, efforts to restore and recreate this landmark aim to bring it back <br /> to its former glory, ensuring that future generations can once again <br /> experience and celebrate this piece of cultural heritage. <br /> Letter/Statement of Interest <br /> On_a_Sunday_Afternoon_Letter_of Interest_copy.pdf <br /> Images of Proposed Mural (ORIGINAL Condition) <br /> IMG_9590.jpeg <br /> IMG_9589.jpeg <br /> Images of Proposed Mural (CURRENT Condition) <br /> IMG_2012.jpeg <br /> Work Plan for Restoration <br /> Work_plan-_On_a_Sunday_Afternoon.pdf <br /> Work Plan for Emerging Artist Apprenticeship (Optional) <br /> Work_Plan_for Emerging_Artist_On_A Sunday_Afternoon.pdf <br /> Budget for Proposed Scope of Work <br /> On_A_Sunday_Afternoon_Estimated_Budget.pdf <br /> Current Resume(s) <br /> Marina-Aguilera-Artist_Designer_2.pdf <br /> Images of Past Restoration Work & Annotated Image List <br /> IMG_1082.jpeg <br /> IMG_7376.jpeg <br /> Image_list.pdf <br />
