BELLA VISTA WONDER

by Paige Dirksen
ARTIST STATEMENT
The new mural features many native Arkansas Plants. The mural design intends to bring joy to hikers and bikers as they pass through, with a lively color palette and a fun view of the mural through the tunnel. Inspired by the supportive community that Dirksen has experienced in Bella Vista, the mural also reads, “You got this”, to encourage users of the trail in whatever way someone may need some inspiration or reassurance. Some of the native plants that can be seen in the mural include Cone Flowers, Coreopsis, Persimmon, Dogwood, Goldenrod, and more.
