Mural Statement
Tribute to M. Scott Carpenter, a native to Boulder CO and an astronaut who was selected for NASA’s Project Mercury mission. By creating this tribute, I hope to inspire the youth to never stop chasing their dreams and to shoot for the moon b/c even if they miss they’ll land among the stars.
About the Artist
Kamille Ejerta, otherwise known by her street name, "OGMillie" is an NYC based visually impaired Street-Pop artist with a vintage flair. She focuses on the inspirational hard work that iconic international figures are known for. Her art is most recognized by the medium of acrylic painted portraits on vintage decorative mirrors. She is also a muralist whose works can be seen throughout the Tri-Sate boroughs. After experiencing a vision-threatening emergency, art became a savior to OGMillie at a time when she needed hope and found her escape through art.
