Paris, IL #50in50project

​Some closer shots of the mural here in Paris!
Paris Population: 8,291 Established in 1826
Mural is 8ft tall x 22ft wide at the Twin Lakes Park Pavilion. Inspired by the history of the park, including details like the rides that used to be a staple here as well as the memorable paddle boats. Highlighting what that park continues to offer- festivals, boating, fishing, and amazing views! The park also has Daisy Mae's , a mini golf course, live music, the Splash Park, and some of the best wildlife !
This mural is the backdrop to the pavilion stage & I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to have the work be a part of the many events that are held here. The goal of this mural was to represent the fond memories & rich history that Twin Lakes has for many people in the community while also capturing the vibrant/fun place it still is. I am beyond thankful to the Paris Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism for connecting me with the Paris Improvement Organization . With an extra shout-out to Callie Keys for taking the steps to make Paris the Illinois location for the #50in50project . Making Illinois state number 10 in the project and the first of many to be completed this summer! Thank you to Paris Illinois Parks for being welcoming & to the entire town of Paris for supporting this there is something so special about #smalltownusa
