LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Local muralist Marisabel Bazan is a Panamanian artist living and working in Los Angeles.

"I love being an artist. I want to raise people's consciousness, not change it, but raise it to another level."

Bazan donated her time and talent to design ABC7 & Disney PRIDE's AIDS Walk LA team t-shirts.

"I have different art forms, but one of them is painting and doing sculptures and murals. I do like butterflies representing human beings in the state of evolution."

ABC7 partnered with Smile South Central to identify Bazan to design the shirts.

"The emotion that I would want people to have looking at my work is joy. We live in a world where there's a lot of things happening, but joy is so important to embrace," Bazan continued.



"I'm very grateful that I was invited to do this," stated Bazan. "I love to support foundations and organizations that really bring a positive message, and a positive attitude to the community and the people involved."

AIDS Walk raises funds and build support and awareness of HIV/AIDS. Money raised through the event benefits APLA Health and other HIV/AIDS organizations in Los Angeles County.

Members of Team ABC7 | Disney PRIDE's AIDS Walk LA will receive Bazan's t-shirt to wear during the walk. If you'd like to join the team, click here.

ABC7 will donate 100% of its proceeds from the sale of the Bazan's t-shirt to support AIDS Walk Los Angeles and APLA Health.

"You know, we all dance together to attain, you know, something greater," concluded Bazan.
