More & more these signs are dotting the edge of the highway.
These signs - 'descansos'
(Spanish for 'place of rest') along the highway stand as symbols
of love, remembrance & celebration of life.

 The
intent of the Painted Memories project is to unite families, who
have lost a loved one, with artists to tell the story of their
loss. The artist will create a painting, sculpture or mural,
etc. that would take the family's story of grief and give it a
new life outside of you...
Thereby allowing you to create from anew.

: : Long Term Objectives
: :
 The families have a
need to keep the loss, caused by a vehicular accident, in
the public eye!
Mostly so that this tragedy is not forgotten
& so that it does not occur to another family. It is
important to the families
to create & visit a
Roadside Memorial. These "Descansos" are
created along the highways - where
traffic travels at high speeds - causing a danger
for friends & family visiting the marker. Also markers
are lost, taken down, even destroyed and are
scattered throughout. Many legislators are starting
to go against Roadside Memorials because of the
controversy & the potential distractions to
motorists.
The intent of this project is to create a safe place,
along the highways, where we can honor those taken
by traffic accidents.
What
I intend to achieve is to affect Florida State Legislators so that a memorial garden can be
created along
the public highways of Florida - at rest stops along the
Florida Turnpike system - where families can have a
safe place and
- where the message is publicly
available.
