Paris Update – Latest Mural Completed – Show Opens June 24!

After a dismal day of several rain interruptions and one torrential downpour on Sat., we caught a break with a beautiful day yesterday, and I was able to finish my Delicate Balance mural. This is the image from which my Eiffel Tower “Earth Crisis” globe installation evolved, so I’m very happy to have it existing as a permanent mural. Thanks to my crew and the crew from Galerie Itinerrance for helping to make this mural happen!

I also want to thank the residents of Paris District 13 for their warmth and enthusiasm toward my murals and public art in general.
