Tampa artist Jujmo to discuss public art, and her origin story, at museum lecture series

Inspired, in part, by the bright color and symbolism of anime, plus Japanese and Filipino culture, University of South Florida alum Cheryl Weber makes mural, illustration and graphic design marked by happy colors and the absence of straight lines.

A late-’90s-early-2000s kid, Weber—better known as Jujmo—moved around as a military kid, but now makes a home in the Bay area where her public art is filled with dainty detail that brightens up walls, restaurant facades and any room lucky enough to have a Jujmo (pronounced “jooj-moe,”) on the wall.

She shares her experiences and talks about how public art can positively impact the wellbeing of a neighborhood at this lecture.

Tickets to Imagine Museum's Artist Lecture Series with Jujmo in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, Sept. 3 are still available for $5.
