In a heartfelt act of community support, a local artist named Collin has taken it upon himself to spread a little light in Waukesha County. On October 1, Collin gave a personal touch to Waukesha County Court Services Deputy Nicholas Kibler by presenting a piece of artwork featuring the county sheriff's patch logo. The gesture was more than just an artistic tribute; it came with a letter that addressed the collective trauma still felt from the Waukesha Parade Tragedy of 2021, as reported by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
This isn't the first time Collin's art has made its rounds in the area. Since the tragic event, his drawings, which are often coupled, with messages of healing have been shared across various departments. According to a Facebook post by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, Collin's latest artwork and insightful words are now a fixture in the patrol roll call room, a constant reminder for deputies and staff to seek healing and safety in their line of duty.
Collin's projects seem to aim at creating communal bonds through empathy and artistry. "Collin’s random acts of kindness throughout the Waukesha community, are what turns this world into a better place," the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department shared in their Facebook post. The public recognition of his contributions implies a shared sentiment that such personal efforts can be a catalyst for collective recovery. The Waukesha County Sheriff's Department expressed their gratitude towards Collin, "Thank you for your artwork and words of support Collin!"
