Distance: 20 blocks
Start: At the corner of Water Street and St. Paul Avenue
Once a time, cattails, marsh grass, and wild rice flourished in the Third Ward. Beavers, butterflies, and diving beetles populated the marsh and Water Street was a swampy Indian trail alongside the Milwaukee River, a main thoroughfare then and now. In the early 1800s, there must have been some surprised buyers when they discovered the property they had purchased in the place we now call the Third Ward, was a swamp.
It s possible my affection for the 41 pictures in Mark Brautigam s "On Wisconsin" is in part due to the fact that I used to live in Wisconsin and am familiar with the State, and have tried to take similar pictures.
With each project in her ever-winding career, Milwaukee mural artist Tia Richardson learns something new about herself.
She believes the everyday people involved in her works grow, too from articulating what they want a mural to symbolize to helping paint it. It s therapeutic; it s relaxing. It brings people together; there’s sense of unity, Richardson said. Those are all the things that I want for our community. And that s what happens when we do that work.
Richardson saw the power of community art in her years helping students paint murals in schools. Now a full-time community artist, she often involves people of all ages in projects across the region.
