ABOUT

Project Luma is the mural and public art initiative from Lora Watts, a designer, planner, and artist working with schools and community groups.

I first designed a mural for a school wall in 2018 and saw how much it changed the feel of the school. That experience shifted my focus to large-scale wall art and how it can improve everyday spaces in schools. Since then, I’ve talked with educators, principals, facilities managers, parents, and students to understand what works well in school environments and how murals can support those spaces.

Now I focus on designing site-specific and visual plans that can be painted professionally or with volunteers. My goal is to make murals accessible — with clear designs and guidance that schools can use no matter their budget or resources.

The goal is to make mural projects clear, manageable, and attainable for any school budget, and to make best use of school resources in order to create more welcoming environments.
