Murals of love

April 22, 2016 | 9 comments

Alex Cook is painting love all over North America.

If you don’t already know of Alex, you’ll quickly warm up to his work. He’s a talented muralist who shares simple and powerful messages of love in public venues to counteract feelings of no worth or value that children and neighbors often feel in the public consciousness.

His murals are beautiful, colorful, uplifting and inspiring.

So far, he’s painted five different messages in various locales, including many schools.

YOU ARE LOVED

YOU ARE NEEDED

YOU ARE IMPORTANT

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

YOU CAN DO IT

“You are loved murals”

He wrote on his blog site:

“The public conversation about worth, value, and well-being is often dark. We are surrounded by belittling messages of materialism, bullying, and violence. Instead, imagine the words “You Are Loved,” – the letters, 12 feet tall, covering the side of a public school in your community. Imagine the internal conversations it will cause when people read “You Are Needed” emblazoned on a public wall, undercutting all the voices that fill our public spaces, the internet, and public thought testifying to the opposite.”

He’s looking for sponsors, so if you know of a local organization or public space that could benefit from one of his engaging murals, feel free to contact him and ask questions. He’d love to hear from you.

  1. Very beautiful – thank you, Evan, for sharing such nice Messages with us in todays world of rushing around, and sometimes overseeing a bit the beautiful things in the world – such People as Alex Cook are also needed today showing us the real important Qualities in Life! LOVE is the essence of Christian Science.

  2. THANK YOU, Evan, for this loving and helpful tribute and support for Alex and his work!
    He led a group of painters to create a wonderful mural at the Church Alive Northern California Summit a few years ago, and it was a pleasure to meet him. It is my hope to get him to Santa Cruz County to do a mural. (I’m workin’ on it, Alex!) I enjoy having a YOU ARE LOVED bumper sticker on my car, to imagine fellow drivers’ reactions as I pass by. Who doesn’t need this message?! (Go to his website to order one, if you’d like.)

    Someday we shall all know and feel nothing but divine Love, for LOVE is, in fact, as we now know in part, all there really is!
