Bus Shelter Mural Program Gallery - Kids and Nature
Mural created by Kate Endle
Located at 15th Ave. NW & NW 65th St. in Ballard
My name is Kate Endle and I am the artist responsible for illustrating the bus stop at 65th and 15th NE in Ballard. After growing up in Northeast Ohio I attended Columbus College of Art and Design, majoring in illustration. I am currently living in Seattle, Washington as a freelance illustrator specializing in children’s books and educational material.
The nature of my professional work has me illustrating small pieces of artwork. Metro’s Bus Shelter Mural Program has allowed me to experiment with my images on a much larger scale. I have been able to play with texture, color, and patterns and combine them with my two favorite subject matters—kids and nature. In addition to being able to experiment with my work in this fashion, I am able to contribute public art to my community.
Metro’s Bus Shelter Mural Program is a fantastic opportunity for an individual to make their communities a more interesting place to live, as well as providing artists an alternative way to promote their artwork and ideas. In addition to the bus stop in Ballard, my work can be seen at a stop in downtown Seattle at Denny and Dexter. I am proud to be a part of Metro’s bus Shelter Program and look forward to creating more painted bus stops in the future.
