Taking a stroll through the Parkland neighborhood — particularly Parkland Plaza — some may notice a mural in the middle of the street that took Jaylin Monet Stewart 36 hours to paint.

Stewart, a Louisville native from the California/Parkland neighborhood, made her first impact in 2016 after losing her cousin to gun violence.

“His name was Demayres Ramsay. He was one of the first portraits I painted for a show I hosted at the California Community Center in November 2016,” Stewart said. She painted ten portraits of victims of gun violence for the show.
