Founder, Art Miles Mural Project

With a lifelong dedication to peace, education, and creative expression, our founder, Joanne Tawfilis, has built an extraordinary career at the intersection of art and humanitarian work. As the visionary behind the Art Miles Mural Project—one of the largest collaborative art initiatives in the world—she has engaged hundreds of thousands of participants across more than 100 countries, using art as a tool for healing, storytelling, and global connection.

Her work has brought together children, educators, artists, and communities—often in regions affected by conflict or hardship—transforming individual voices into collective expressions of hope. With decades of leadership and international engagement, she continues to guide this initiative with purpose, compassion, and a deep belief in the power of people to create a more peaceful world.
