Vanessa Guillen Mural: Kid Play Daycare

After painting the large mural of Guillén on the side of the restaurant Taqueria del Sol with his mother, local street artist, Alex "Donkeeboy" Roman Jr. recruited other artists to create their own murals dedicated to Guillén. “I felt like it was a must to paint. I’m Mexican and have a daughter so when Donkeeboy reached out I didn’t even think twice,” Aragon said. “Everybody dropped everything to make this happen,”explained Infante. “We even had a paint shop open up for us." Flores and Infante did not know Aragon prior but through collaborating on creating the mural, they began forming a friendship. “While (Guillén’s) death is tragic, it’s helped bring the community together,”Infante said. Visitors left balloons, candles and flowers at the mural.

Vanessa Guillén Murals
Mural de Vanessa Guilléns
Taqueria Del Sol
8114 Park Blvd, Houston TX
This is a mural of Vanessa Guillén at Taqueria Del Sol in southeast Houston. Guillén, whose remains were found in July 2020, was a soldier who had been missing from Fort Hood since April. The mural is in the same neighborhood where she grew up (also the neighborhood of Donkeeboy’s youth). “The night we painted it, we weren’t even done, and 100-something people showed up for a prayer vigil. The outpouring from the community in her memory was incredible. These murals serve as a meeting ground…When you visit a mural, you can see all the candles and flowers and offerings that are being placed — physical signs of support. I hope the families look at that and can see the love that they’re receiving from the community and that art can help bring awareness to their situations.”
