Since the start of the Hope Grows Here community project, the MultiCare Foundations have been grateful to partner with several talented local artists who have helped spread joy across our communities.<\/p>\n

Peter Jacobsen<\/a> is one of them. If you\u2019ve driven past the Korum Automotive Group in Puyallup lately, you\u2019ve no doubt seen his vibrant work on the windows of car dealerships or the billboard on North Meridian Avenue. This was the 20-year-old\u2019s \u201cfirst billboard\u201d as an artist, but not his first time working with MultiCare.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Peter offered his talents to create a stunning piece<\/a> for the entryway of Wellfound Behavioral Health Hospital. When he was contacted to create something new as part of the Hope Grows Here project in April, he poured his energy into it for three days straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was contacted on a Friday and I sent the final designs by Monday morning,\u201d Peter says. He adds that the timing worked out well, in an odd way. After coming home for spring break, he wasn\u2019t able to return to school at Virginia Commonwealth University due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working on my art anyway while I\u2019m here at home, so luckily, I already had all of the paint and supplies I needed,\u201d Peter says.<\/p>\n

That Friday, he started sketching and pulling inspiration from other artists he admires (Andy Warhol\u2019s color palettes are some of his favorites). He began painting two hours later, then continued adding more layers of paint throughout the weekend. He ended up with three master designs that were done to scale, so they could easily be expanded to the proportions needed for the windows and billboard.<\/p>\n

What motivated Peter most about participating in a project like this was the idea of hope, and what it means for people who may be facing behavioral health challenges during this period of isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMental health is really important to me. I understand it and sympathize with people who go through challenges with it.\u00a0For me, art is my form of therapy,\u201d Peter explains. \u201cI was interested in helping out with this because as a younger person watching people I know who have been pillars of hope and strength\u00a0throughout my childhood; seeing\u00a0them\u00a0feel\u00a0so lost and hopeless during this time \u2013 it\u2019s a scary concept. But I think the younger generations can do a lot to inspire hope. Doing this piece is my way of trying to share that hope with others. It’s a way for me to do my part.”<\/p>\n

Sophia Hall, Executive Director of the Korum for Kids Foundation, worked with Peter previously on the piece he created for Wellfound and was grateful to partner with him again to bring Hope Grows Here to life through Korum.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis passion for art is equal to that of his passion for helping those who suffer from mental health issues,\u201d Sophia says of Peter. \u201cWe have now commissioned another piece from him which will be publicly announced shortly for the city of Puyallup, and will have to do with suicide prevention and drug\/alcohol awareness. Peter is a delightful young man who we now call friend, and we can\u2019t wait to support him for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the people who see his work, Peter hopes it will remind them that despite the isolation, there are always others in the community who care about them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of hope is something that everyone can cling to,\u201d he says. \u201cWe can all get through this together. If people see something like this while they\u2019re commuting to work alone or going home to a place where they live alone, it could be really encouraging. Just know that there are people out there who care and are still with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
