In this interview, Barbara talks about her addiction to scrapbooking and photo books, and tells us why her mother is such an inspiring role model.

LisaH26’s “Calvert Street Mural” tells the story of a community art project at Calvert Street Elementary School. We get to meet the artists, see how they sketch out each drawing before the over 200 painters (teachers, students, parents and community members), and then enjoy the finished project. In addition to the photos, we learn about the reaction of the school and community to the effort.
