In the summer of 2004, Jose Ramirez, a renowned Los Angeles-based artist (www.ramirezart.com), led an indoor mural project for Maternal and Child Health Access (MCHA). Eight women from our case-management program and arts-and-crafts collective took part in this adventure and whether participating or just observing the process, it was an amazing experience for everyone in our office. Initially, the women did not believe they would ever draw or paint, let alone fill what appreared to be an enormous canvas with their art. Jose met this challenge by teaching them basic art techniques and coaching them them throughout the process. He constantly encouraged and nurtured the women's artistic abilities, and when they saw their work taking form they resonated with confidence and pride. With breastfeeding babies in slings and children reading or creating their own artwork at tables near the mural site, the women painted beautiful images that reflect a vision for a neighborhood of inclusion that provides education, health care, green areas, and places such as MCHA where they feel safe enough to dream, learn, and take action. The women who created the mural are Manuela Silva, Margarita Velasquez, Dominga Guzman, Yurri Carreon, Hortencia Montiel, Maria Venegas, Teresa Garcia, and Rocio Martinez.
