Murals

Murals are such an important part of San Francisco's personality and is amazing the amount of urban artists constantly creating more and more!

 

During the months of September and October I was fortunate enough to get involved in the restoration campaign for the historic Women's Building : MaestraPeace mural.

A group of women mentor a younger generation in the art of mural making and allowed us to fix and repaint their monumental art piece.

The mural was painted in 1994 by Juana Alicia, Miranda Bergman, Edythe Boone, Susan Kelk Cervantes, Meera Desai, Yvonne Littleton and Irene Perez, and many helpers. 

Special thanx to them for sharing the knowledge!

Here are more links to the restoration process....

Other murals that I like a lot are the ones of Jet Martinez that can be found all over the city, he is originally from Mexico but lives in San Fran with his family.
