17. Heather Freitas, Artsline Artist

We're continuing our Women's History Month celebration with the talented Heather Freitas, whose colorful artwork for Valley Metro's Spring Artsline Spotlight highlights women trailblazers throughout history. There are 19 women featured across several art pieces on light rail and the large-scale mural wall at the Roosevelt/Central Ave light rail station. 

This display of influential women aligns with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. “Women are so powerful and I really want to uplift their voices. There’s Rosa Parks, Judy Garland…all of them offer something unique because we’re all unique individuals,” Freitas said about the inspiration behind her work.
