An art project in Uvalde is bringing artists from across Texas to paint murals honoring the victims killed inside Robb Elementary.
“Last night we came in a little late, around like 9, because we had to project and we didn’t know the family was going to be here. So it was kind of cool to have the family like see the reveal of the design,” Magaly said.“That’s her actual handwriting. That’s, that’s the way she wrote her name. That’s the way she wrote ‘you console me,’” artist Cristina Noriega said. Noriega painted a portrait of Amerie Jo Garza.
The murals will all be finished in the next couple of weeks and a dedication ceremony is in the works for August.
