The Story Behind the Mural
Virginia Beach Side
This side serves as the centerpiece of the mural, with "Virginia Beach" rendered in gothic lettering facing one of the busiest pedestrian corridors near the Convention Center. It celebrates the city's identity beyond its beaches, inviting visitors to look deeper into the stories, history, and communities that make Virginia Beach unique.
Wildlife Side
Virginia Beach is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, from the creatures that inhabit our waterways to the birds and animals found throughout the region's parks, marshes, and coastline. This side celebrates the natural world that existed long before the city's roads, hotels, and neighborhoods, highlighting the wildlife that continues to shape the character of Coastal Virginia today.
Navy Side
The military's influence on Virginia Beach is impossible to ignore. From the economy and local culture to language, art, tattoos, and family histories, generations of service members have left their mark on the city. This side acknowledges that connection and explores the role the Navy and military community have played in shaping Virginia Beach into the place it is today.
Behind the Scenes
Lodging for this project was generously provided by Holiday Inn & Suites Virginia Beach – North Beach. Their support helped make it possible for me to complete my first public mural during the Virginia Beach Street Art Festival.
