Description:

As a visual artist, I possess 30 years of experience in painting, specializing in portraits, landscapes, floral arrangements, and murals. Throughout these years, I have executed various murals in schools and social service residential programs that have been instrumental in transforming spaces in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mexico City, and Chicago, among other places.

For the last three years, I have overseen a therapeutic mural arts program that seeks to provide a creative outlet to traumatized individuals. Here, they express themselves in alternative ways that are therapeutic.

I have personally supervised the creation of 20 murals in Chicago shelter programs. In this project, I collaborated with the youth to transform spaces that they inhabit, making them more conducive for living.

Presently, I am exploring new possibilities as an independent contractor in the greater Chicago area. You can assess my work for quality and see samples of some of my creations.

I am enthusiastic about working with you, and I would like to have more information about your desired mural, which I am confident of delivering with precision.

By employing a therapeutic approach, Gyan assisted minors in care at our shelters in discovering new forms of expression through mural painting. This art therapy journey produced gains in both communication and concentration, while also reducing feelings of isolation. In fact, our female participants displayed an increase in self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness as a result of this program. Gyan demonstrated professionalism and punctuality, and was willing to remain on-site until the task was finished, even if it necessitated working alone through the night. I am excited to collaborate with Gyan once more, this time on creating murals for my own home.
