heart with a red barn and words saying you matter

Hands to Heart

By Brianna Gilbert

Created by Idaho artist Brianna Gilbert, this heart captures the spirit of the Idaho Youth Ranch — more than just a thrift store, it’s a mission of hope and healing for youth across our state. With bold colors and uplifting imagery, Gilbert’s playful style brings warmth, welcome, and encouragement to life.

One side radiates belonging with the message “So Glad You’re Here,” while the other affirms “You Matter,” surrounded by words like hope, growth, courage, and safety. Together, the design reflects transformation, connection, and the promise that every young person deserves a future filled with possibility.

Meet the Heart-ist

Brianna Gilbert is a mural artist with murals in Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, and locally in Nampa and Boise! Brianna’s first love is painting murals with spray paint outdoors but will throw down on any surface with experience using brushes or aerosol. Now based in the Treasure Valley, Brianna spends her days exploring Idaho with her husband and kids and is always looking to take on a new and exciting project.

Brianna loved partnering with the Idaho Youth Ranch because of the different ways they help our community, through outreach and therapy, creating opportunities and a safe place to grow.
