A stroll through the park

This door, located at 205 Dallas Street and completed in the summer of 2024, is the first of what we hope will be a series of “pocket murals.” These artworks will be smaller than a typical mural, tucked into places where they will surprise and delight unsuspecting passers-by. This mural features a stone pathway through a blooming garden, where a brooding sky hangs in the distance.  It’s sensation of depth invites one to enter and wander through the flowers.
