Do you agree we should have a designated graffiti wall for mural artists to practice their skills in northern Nevada? Here's a message from a local artist seeking that kind of a space:
"My name is Kristina Lammers. I'm a local artist who was born and raised right here in Reno. I love spending time outdoors, hiking, camping, and kayaking. I'm also diagnosed on the autism spectrum, and I find nature and art to be very therapeutic. I graduated from TMCC in 2022 with a degree in Fine Arts.
I specialize in nature and wildlife photography, and also painting, particularly with acrylics and aerosols. I also do ceramics and sculptural art, I've recently gotten into mural painting as well, and I've gotten some cool opportunities this year. My portfolio can be found here: https://outdoorsymountainhiker.weebly.com/
I love living here in Reno because of the proximity to Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and also the Great Basin. The beautiful natural scenery provides the inspiration for my artwork. I also love the many murals here, as I have an affinity for the graffiti/street art subcultures.
I do however think our area could use more of a focus on helping local artists to get started, getting their work out there, and also more collaborative murals and public art projects that directly involve community members. I also really hope that we can get a legal, designated graffiti wall here someday, where anyone could come paint and express themselves. I think it would be so much fun."
