Murals
Eileen Mosca has never seen a wall she didn't want to paint. She has done murals in New York, Boston, and Jerusalem as well as in Vancouver and its suburbs. In addition to residential, institutional and commercial murals, she has worked with school children and community groups on large and small-scale mural projects.
School Murals
Every Spring since 1992 Eileen has worked as artist-in-residence in numerous Vancouver elementary schools. She has worked with grade 3 and 4 students at Garibaldi, Dickens, Mackenzie, Mt Pleasant, Tillicum False Creek, and other schools to create indoor and outdoor murals. Every child in the selected grade participates in planning, discussing, designing and painting the mural with Eileen.

Community Murals
Designing and organizing community murals in connection with the Grandview-Woodland Community Policing Centre's anti-graffiti program is one of Eileen's favourite volunteer activities. She creates simple designs that are suitable for painting by people of all ages and artistic abilities, outlining the mural elements and indicating the colours for each area. The Florida Market mural, shown above, was completed in July 2003. It involved over 30 community residents who participated in what was called " Vancouver's largest paint-by-number project."
