TESTIMONIALS
Robert Messia, Principal -
Algonquin Middle School
“This wasn’t simply a mural project, It was a student engagement and wellness project and may be the most valuable character education that our school has ever engaged in. Eugene developed a strong sense of community through his engagement of our students and staff. Each student had a personal intention literally embedded in the paint of the mural, a beautiful concept that had a lasting impact on all.”
Jennifer Gresens, Head of School - Parker School
"We loved working with you, and were SO sad when the whole thing was over! I’m already brainstorming more ways to get you back to Parker! This project has added tremendous value to our community. It has become a lasting symbol of connection and possibility within our school. What stood out to me most was the genuine connection between Eugene, Jade, and our students. It was clear how much they loved being part of this experience, not just artistically, but in terms of wellness, confidence, and community. The mural is more than just art on a wall; it holds the memory of the experience itself. We are so grateful!"
Dennis Green, Executive Principal - Schenectady High School
“This project has added immense value to our community by celebrating and representing a large part of our population, our Guyanese community. The inclusion of the national flower of Guyana in the mural has created a sense of pride and connection among many individuals. Students, in particular, have expressed their appreciation and admiration for this meaningful addition. The mural not only beautifies our space but also fosters a deeper sense of belonging and inclusivity within our organization.”
