Answers and closure have been hard to come by after the mass shooting in Uvalde, so a local artist took a different path to bring some light into the darkness.
"I love my people. I love my community. But we're not united," Myer said.
Myer says,"we're not Uvalde strong. We're Uvalde divided. The families here that were not involved in May 24 tell the families, 'Get over it. Stuff like that happens.' How do you get over something like that?" "77 minutes," he said, struggling to talk through his tears."These children, only they and God knows what they went through those 77 minutes."
"We call them the healing murals of Uvalde because that was the original idea. Art heals. Art persuades the heart," Ortiz said.
