La Jolla Country Day School - The Butterfly Project

I designed this mural in collaboration with 25 students at La Jolla Country Day School. The mural depicts a coastal landscape featuring the school mascot, a Torrey pine tree, and incorporates 720 ceramic butterflies, each carefully adhered by hand to the wall. These butterflies were hand-painted and fired by @torreyarts students as part of The Butterfly Project. Together, they symbolize hope and the community’s collective effort to support one another. This collaborative piece not only enhances the space but also serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of those we remember.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of the LJCDS students and our amazing team of artists: @mister_esteban @katyyeaw @izzymcfizzy_@ldltower and @emma.jbie who was there for the first part of the project!
