Catherine Carlton, Morena Blvd between Vega and Dorcas, San Diego, CA

Artist statement: I first saw YOU ARE NOT ALONE murals, I immediately asked how can I be a part of this project. As a sign painter for over 30 years, I felt I can help share an important message through art. That was in May, MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS month. But every month, every day of every year someone struggles with their mental health and well being. At some point in varying degrees, everyone needs help, support, and we usually feel so alone when we do. Last year, 2020 brought so many people to their knees facing their own mental and physical challenges and continues as we navigate our life. I think it’s important to open the conversation, our hearts and minds and feel comfortable to ask for help if needed and to offer help whenever possible by listening with kindness, generosity and compassion. We are all connected and YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Finally got to paint the mural this week…I am honored to be a part of this community. Love what #youarenotalone is doing to spread the message Peace and love to all.
