Pantry Shelf Overpass Mural

Everyday, I try to figure out why I’m here. And everyday I draw, or sculpt, or paint, or make something in an attempt to figure out the mystery. I’m not trying to replicate nature, I’m trying to understand the unknown. The underpass street mural called for a colorful vision to bring light to an overlooked space. This mural is my interpretation of thinking about the mountains and the nature of our surroundings in Eastern Kentucky. I wanted to bring the joy of life to this concrete wall. - Charles Parker Boggs

Paint Drips Mural

Bailey Richards decided to break a mural into its constituent parts, the paint itself and the primary and secondary colors that make up all art. In this way it can be seen as the foundation or earliest part of creating art much as the murals are the start of the revitalization of downtown. Pairing the paint drips with the original city seal ties these two ideas together.

Octopus Mural

The idea behind the design is the past and the future. Both, I feel, are incredibly important to our region. The left side represents the past and the right represents the future. The man knows that it's in her hands, and he gracefully gives her his blessing and confidence to create a brighter future. The day the mural was started was a beautiful one. So cold, but so many showed up, young and old. This was a community project and was meant to be ongoing. My hope was that it would never be completed and people would continue to add their mark to it. I hope to see it change and evolve over time just like I hope to see the change and evolution in us. - Jenn Noble Shepherd
