Beauty Arises - Street Murals
$ On Inquiry
Shane was looking for a church to paint on. After driving around he found one, a Seventh Day Adventist Church. A lot of structures still held up after the Paradise, CA fires. With many concrete angles, it inspired this piece.
Shane received permission to paint. Scouting the location he drove around it to view from all angles. From the back road looking in there was a central structure that seemed inviting. It had patches of smooth plaster amidst the rough texture. Shane liked the textures and hidden nature of it. Because this location was quite large, Shane needed to create a path through nails, twisted metal, and concrete slabs to get to his desired spot.
The creation of Beauty Arises was documented by the LA Times as well as a local Sacramento news team. Shane heard afterward that the pastor of the church was grateful for the art. For a lot of locals it became another beacon of hope.
Many people visited this and the series of other murals like a treasure hunt, going with family members to view and document them. Many came to focus on beauty and hope right in the middle of destruction.
