Flight at Tustin

Bonnie Reiss, 2019

Bonnie Reiss painted the Flight at Tustin mural in 2019.

“My family is Russian and Polish, so a lot of my work is based off the traditional folk art that I grew up with. So I kind of take what I knew growing up with what I am learning as I am getting older and I mesh them together. I wanted to do something that looked almost like confetti or like you were throwing something up in the air, and it was mixing up in the sky. So I decided to base it off of flowers and the sparkly things you see in your eyes when you are squinting at the sun. And then throw in a few kites. I just wanted to feel good, that’s all i ever want. Its a tall order for most people, so hopefully they’ll just feel good about the environment they are in.”
