The Long Island native got her start working with street art in 2013, practicing on rundown walls in New York, and has since been commissioned to paint murals around the world, from France to Sweden to Ukraine. This past fall, she brought her talents to Fall River.
“From the initial concept to the final brushstroke, the film captures the passion, creativity, and community spirit that brought the mural to life,” reads a news release from FRACC regarding BKFoxx’s Fall River project titled “Dad’s Home.”
