Creating art together.
Creating change together.

My work addresses complex societal issues by painting the subject as a community in a highly accessible way. Painting together fosters dialogue and connection by creating a shared reflective space. A space where participants are able to express themselves individually while maintaining a place in the collective, all under a common theme of awareness.

Change Makers
Client: Exeter High School

Change Makers brings together English and history classes to explore how individuals can drive social change. Students research local, national, or global issues, write analytical essays, and use art and storytelling to propose solutions, developing critical thinking and communication skills along the way. The program culminates in a large-scale collaborative artwork led by community artist Eric Gold, where 300–400 students come together to paint, each contributing a small piece to a unified portrait symbolizing the collective power of individual action. The finished works are displayed in school hallways, serving as lasting visual reminders that individual voices, when combined, can shape their communities.

The mosaic-like works blend individual styles into unified images that reflect connection, collaboration, and the community’s shared story.

Together we created an experiential time capsule. Exploring and sharing stories about Portsmouth’s modern history, celebrating this community and creating a permanent collection for generations to come.
