Bianca Broman Paints a Special Mural in Plum

Gray Legacy Services has a new mural in the main area of their Plum Dayhab, for folks with developmental disabilities.

Artist Bianca Broman painted a Texas theme featuring longhorns and bluebonnets.

“She has transformed the space,” said Kim Anderson, Day Hab Director.

Last week they held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the artist and residents.

“We recently built three instructional rooms in the Plum Dayhab and Bianca painted a mural on the outside walls,” Anderson said.

Bianca “Bee” Broman is a visual artist, painter, and art teacher by trade. Her passion for arts comes through in everything she does. She studied visual arts through Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where she has also been living during the year for the past five years. Originally she is from Houston, and has lived around various parts of Texas over her lifetime. Her “style” is undefined, but her focus is always the same - she seeks to illustrate love in the natural world, through archetypes such as animals and women. She loves to doodle, and doesn’t con-sider her work realism, even when it “looks realistic.” She is an impressionist and expressionist by nature, and roots all of her artwork in color theory and color.

She has been working with the Mary Gray foundation through ARTS for rural Texas for the past two summers, and has deeply fallen into love with the community. This is their second community mural, and she always works to incorporate help from the local disabled community from within. “The inclusivity of the activity makes people get up and feel connected and feel proud. Here, they did the entire sky and all of the land, which is the full foundation basically. She loves painting animals most of all, as well as nature, dancers, and the human experience,” Anderson said.
