Let's Play! And Paint!
Kickoff Concert on July 18th
Did you hear? We’re painting a piano for Push. Piano. Play! Follow along here for updates as I add lots of color — bold, bright, and full of life. My design is inspired by love, diversity, and Portland itself, with touches of Mexican floral patterns honoring my roots.
🎶 Join us for the big event at Director Park, Portland, Oregon — a free, family-friendly celebration of music and art. After that, the piano will head to Montavilla for more community magic. Let’s bring color to the city together! 💛🎹
