Local Inspiration Series: East Lake Street

This was my first painting in this series, inspired by the revitalization of Lake Street through new shops, restaurants and art centers. I am inspired by the constant movement and vibrant murals in this area. My goal with this painting is to show the vitality of an area that has traditionally had negative connotations for many people. This painting was so well received by the business owners and residents, it motivated me to look for other places that had left a lasting impression on me.
