Algarve Dreams

Youth Art for Nature

Project Mission:

To empower young people to dream, create, and protect nature — through art, gardens, and community collaboration.

Our goal is simple:

Empower Youth to Dream, Create, and Protect Nature
I’m an artist and designer who moved from California to Portugal to live full-time in beautiful the Algarve — a place I have grown to love deeply. Through Algarve Dreams: Youth Art for Nature, I am interested in working with teachers and school children helping the youth to express their hopes for the future through mural making, mosaics, gardening, and public art works— inspiring environmental stewardship and community pride. I invite local school teachers to participate in this creative collaboration, where you and your students will work with me to create beauty and inspire community pride for the Algarve.

I warmly invite you to participate in Algarve Dreams… Youth Art for Nature — a creative collaboration where you and your students can work with me to express their hopes for the future through painted murals, planting gardens, and creating public art, celebrating the beauty and pride of the Algarve.

Through painting, mosaics and planting, students will express their hopes for the future, celebrating the beauty, value, and reverence for the sea and surrounding lands. Together, we will learn how everything is connected —and how caring for nature helps all life, including ourselves.

Sample Project:

  • Paint a colorful mural on a fisherman’s house in need of paint refurbishment

Materials Wish List:

  • Non- toxic paints, brushes, drop cloths, gardening supplies

Future Vision:

  • Revitalize a kid’s skate park with a mural
  • Beautify the front of the Centro Cultural building
  • Transform public spaces into celebrations of nature and community pride

How Teachers Can Help:

  • Encourage creative environmental thinking
  • Participate in mural and garden creation
  • Offer your classrooms of children to help paint murals as part of the curriculum
  • Summer camp programs are also welcome to join and help paint murals
  • Help inspire pride and stewardship among students

First Projects:

  • Fisherman’s House Mural
  • Beautifying the front of the Centro Cultural
  • Regenerative gardens and public spaces

Empowering Youth to Dream, Create, and Protect Nature.

These public art projects will transform our community — creating a sense of pride, inspiring others, and hopefully helping to minimize littering as we build a more beautiful, respectful environment together.
