Meet the Trash Can Artists
In January 2025, eight trash cans in downtown T or C were painted by local artists as part of a project to help beautify the area as well as raise awareness about littering.
Find out more about the fantastic artists who took part below!
Six cans were previously painted in 2023 - read more about the original pilot project cans and artists here.

Murals by Brett-Morgan
I'm a New Mexican artist who specializes in folk art style paintings inspired by my New Mexican and Scandinavian roots. I found my calling for murals through volunteering with Santuario de Karuna, an animal sanctuary in Tijeras, when I painted Saint Francis on their chicken coop. I love celebrating the imperfect symmetry of nature and the wildlife and culture of New Mexico!

High Desert Barn Quilts
I am High Desert Barn Quilts. I’m addicted, obsessed, possessed and excited about barn quilts. If you have ever driven East of the Mississippi River you would have seen 1000’s of barn quilts. There are auto barn quilt trail tours meandering thru many of the great small towns of America. The stories about each quilt are a part of our US history. I have a goal of an auto barn quilt trail winding thru NM’s small quant towns bringing in tourism and conversation. Barn quilts have evolved! They are not just for barns anymore! They can decorate your home (inside or out), she shed, man cave or office!
Facebook site under construction. Life is short! Grab your dreams!
