Living for today...
You may say I'm a dreamer

I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

The Artists of this project feel that any place where people walk, work and live needs to be inspiring, and creatively stimulating. Our senses awakened by our environment making us feel that its good to be alive:)

Just as we decorate our homes to make them feel more welcoming shouldn't our community environment reflect our own inner human qualities and values? - sadly there is not a lot of this in most urban environments- but soon to change with us around :)

We Took a walk through Muizenberg on Friday with a paintbrush in the back of our minds.the possibilities are endless ...

( I recommend you try this any time its really fun -take a walk around your neighbourhood and really see and feel where you live; If you don't like what you see; imagine how it could be transformed )
