Paul Jimenez – Muralist
Paul Jimenez | 6 min 31 sec
Paul Jimenez is a muralist and the creator of Ground Floor Murals, an art collective dedicated to connecting with communities through powerful public art. In middle school, Paul struggled with identity and peer pressure, often trying to fit in with the wrong crowd. A teacher’s encouragement and his grandfather’s steady influence helped him realize the power of authenticity and staying true to himself.
Art became Paul’s ‘natural high’ as his way to focus, process challenges, and inspire others. Through his story, students learn the importance of positive role models and making choices that align with who they really are.
