Process
This mural was commissioned by Vintage on Selby Apartments to celebrate their local community and neighborhood. They wanted this piece of public art to reflect their neighborhood and offer a nod to both vintage Selby at Snelling as well as the vibrancy of Selby at Snelling today. To achieve this I incorporated images that reflected the history of the area, while also adding vibrant, bold colors and art to reflect modern day.
Execution
To achieve both old and new I used a very traditional style realistic painting with simple graphic bold patterning and shares. Mixing black and white with bold color.
Detail
To involve the community in this mural we incorporated a paint day during a neighborhood festival. Community members helped us paint the first layer of this vibrant mural. We had many paint brushes and paint on hand for everyone. We facilitated the painting so both young and old could participate. It generated so much interest within the community. It was a great event.
