Maria Torres
Inwood's Neighborhood Artist!
Most afternoons friends and neighbors can be found grouped around her spot on West 218 Street just west of Broadway from about 4 to 6 pm. During June, 2023 new artworks called "street signs" celebrating places in Inwood will displayed in the window of the Starlight Cleaners at 510 West 218 Street.

INWOOD
Come to Inwood!
That's where the Neighborhood Artist is.
Yes, she loves sharing her art with others.
Makes our neighborhood beautiful.
Another Neighborhood Artist?
Why not?
Just like singers and rappers,
They enjoy saying their names

Love Inwood
Today I saw an elderly couple. What was so cute was how she took care of him, fixed his jacket and put it right.
True love.
Makes you realize
Life is so precious.
