“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” ― W.B. Yeats
I painted fifteen flower and bird murals throughout Ilha das Flores in the Azores, Portugal in the summer of 2017. These Portugal murals were mainly handpainted on public buildings and ruins, most near the main town of Santa Cruz, a town of about 900 residents. As a Bay Area muralist, this was a dream project! (Read about how the project unfolded here.)
