Together We Bloom
Sophie Groenstein &
Catie Lewis
Highlighting women and community.
Together, through their creative synergy and the support of the communities they find themselves in, Sophie and Catie have experienced significant personal and artistic growth.
Through their journey of personal growth and communal contribution, they have learned the importance of leaning on one another and nurturing mutual growth.
As they illustrate through their mural, just like a beautiful garden flourishes when each seed is nurtured, so too can individuals thrive when a community comes together in solidarity.
Sophie and Catie created their mural “Together We Bloom” in partnership with the Greater Hartford Arts Council. Thank you to Carlos Mouta for his partnership in providing this canvas.
