In 2020, Art x Love was selected as a muralist for Downtown Cuyahoga Falls’ Chalk It Up weekly public art event. People were encouraged to explore downtown and discover local artists at work on chalk murals each week. The Fun Flows Here mural was inspired by the Cuyahoga River, and the community’s resilient spirit during the pandemic.
“The brick wall we were given was porous, rough, and uneven. I wanted to make the mural as vibrant and impactful as possible, so I used spray chalk for the foundation and created additional details and shading with chalk sticks. Many weeks after it was completed, I heard it was still there and looked great, despite all of the rain. It’s always bonus when something temporary can leave a lasting positive impact.”
