These are murals I was commissioned to create, with much help in their fabrication from the good folks at NOW Art in Los Angeles https://nowartpublic.com/. They digitally manipulate, greatly enlarge (ten times original size), and then print the image of my painting onto a huge plastic sheet (aka a wrap) which they then adhere to the wall. Much better than me on a ladder!
This is part of an enlightened program in Walmarts across the country to celebrate local communities, which I am delighted to have my artwork be a part of!

I am honored that the Walmart Community Mural Program has used my Culpeper mural to represent the state of Virginia in their map of murals across our nation.
Each mural is inspired by and celebrates the local community. It is created in collaboration with store managers, ensuring it reflects the area's unique diversity and cultural identity. Every piece is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork that honors, and hopefully uplifts, the spirit of the neighborhood it represents. They have over 1,600 artists in their program and have produced over 2,500 murals.
Here is an interactive map showing the full mural and providing some background information: https://nowartpublic.com/community-mural-program/?utm_source=brevo&utm_campaign=Community%20Mural%20Program%20-%20Artist%20Outreach&utm_medium=email

There are lots of things I like about being a part of the Walmart Community Mural program. I love the idea of celebrating communities across the country, and learning about them as I prepare artwork; and, hopefully, connecting with them through the murals. It brought me joy and I feel truly honored to see that the Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree and Crafts Festival used the mural that I created with NOW Art for the Walmart Community Mural program as their Facebook cover photo: https://www.facebook.com/SmithvilleJamboree.
