Mitsu Overstreet talks about his journey as an artist into public art, connecting artist to community, and connecting community through art. Mitsu Overstreet is an accomplished and recognized artist specializing in public art. His mission is to connect with different communities through the creation of art installations that connect people by helping them learn, heal, and grow as well as express their identity.
Drawing on his unique cross section of experiences with graphic design, education and public art, he continues to challenge himself creatively by applying it to make an impact in his community, his artistic growth, and in his current work for the University of Texas at El Paso where he collaborates with a creative team and faculty to produce innovative teaching and learning experiences.
He graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA. Mitsu has effectively executed and exhibited installations in Santa Fe, San Francisco, Atlantic City and just completed a widely acclaimed, 7,500 sq ft, mural installation for the City of El Paso.
