Holderbaum said she’s staying home to slow the spread of COVID-19, but wanted to show thanks to the front line workers.

“I wanted to say ‘thank you’ in the biggest way I could!” she said. “I’m staying home to help slow the spread, so rather than a wall outside I painted one in my house.”

Holderbaum has painted dozens of murals around Jacksonville and is a well-known artist within the community. Her work has been tied to helping youth in need.

“I have been very involved with community efforts, such as my ‘Kids Mural Project’ where I worked with thousands of underprivileged students to paint over 30 murals in title 1 schools around the city," Holderbaum said. "I most recently directed and organized the ‘The Wall at College Park’ in Arlington.
