W ANDA Luna is all heart. At
5- 4, the Chilean- born artist
exudes a sort of warmth and
compassion that can be felt almost
immediately upon entering her studio.
She gives hugs to everyone she meets,
even strangers.
Luna isn't afraid to proclaim art is
her life and her heart is always open.
So five years ago, when her niece
became ill with cancer, it seemed only
natural for her to want to paint a mural
in her loved one's bedroom to help fill
her with hope.
" Immediately my mom
was like, ' Honey, you
could do this for other
kids,' " beams Luna. And
thus was born the Dream
Room Project, a non- profit
organization Luna runs,
which transforms children's
bedrooms, as well
as rooms in community
organizations, into magical
spaces of healing.
The belief is having a
safe place to feel comfort
and happiness can help a child heal
from the pain of a traumatic experience
and face the future with strength.
" Any child who is going through
a dark time - whether it be struggling
with an illness, or impacted by
a divorce, bullying, sexual abuse -
deserves to have a space of their own
where they feel free to feel, to dream,
to hope," says Luna.
She says the process for coming up
with a theme for a child's bedroom
is straightforward. " I ask the child
what they want, and usually kids will
answer right away, ' I like Buzz Lightyear,
or I like princesses,' " Luna says
with a laugh.
At times, the bedroom murals can
take days or even weeks to paint. Luna
says she feels so privileged to be let
into people's homes during what can
often be one of the toughest times for
a family.
" It can be quite intimate," says Luna.
" But for someone like myself who
craves family, it is special."
She recalls painting the room of a
three- year- old girl who was struggling
with cancer, decorating her walls with
princesses. The little girl
was in between treatments,
and her family would invite
Luna for dinner after a hard
day's work of painting. She
remembers the girl giggling
and being overjoyed with the
princesses painted on her
wall. Her family told Luna it
was the first time they had
heard her laugh in a while.
Luna says she keeps in
touch with all the families
who have got a dream room.
" I always say that I have purpose
in my life now because of those little
souls that have shared their courage,"
says Luna. " It always makes you think
you are stronger than you think you
are."
Luna admits she had a troubled
childhood. " I really could have used a
dream room myself," she says.
At the end of each project, she videotapes
the child's reaction when they
see their room for the first time. " It's
so I can always remember the look on
their faces," says Luna, " I can say OK,
this is why I do it."
The Dream Room Project is run
by volunteers and relies solely on
donations. Luna says artists in the
community sometimes volunteer their
time to help paint a room, but they also
are always looking for volunteers to
prep the walls or make sandwiches for
volunteers, among other things.
Luna and the Dream Room Project
have completed 22 rooms so far. Luna
says her dream is to be able to do 10
times more rooms, so every child who
is struggling has a safe space to dream
of brighter days.
If you would like to make a donation
to the Dream Room Project or
volunteer your time, please visit: www.
thedreamroomproject. org.
If you know a special volunteer who
strives to make his or her community a
better place to live, please contact Carolyn
