Meet the instructor, Lucia McGuire of Faraway Fairy !

Lucia is a recent graduate from Armadillo Technical Institute (ATI) and is now TMC staff. She has been working with TMC since March of 2021 on the Bus Project, converting a school bus into housing. Recently she helped assist with workshops around the Mural Project. The Mural Project consists of thirty-two 4’x6’ panels of painted art with the theme, “Stronger Together.” These murals were made in response to the Almeda Fire that went through Talent and Phoenix and they are now installed around the Gateway Project. Lucia designed and painted two of these murals as her senior project.
