Colorful mural brightens Springs

‘We’re leaving a public artwork that represents what young artists can do,’ said Dianna Aoki.|

More than a hundred art supporters gathered in the center of Boyes Hot Springs on Sunday to recognize the completion of a brand-new mural celebrating the town, Sonoma Valley and the local Latino culture.

The colorful mural was created by nearly 20 teens, led by spray paint and street artist Chor Boogie of San Rafael, as part of a program sponsored by the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art.

The 15-by-60-foot untitled painting takes up most of an outside wall at the Republic of Thrift store on Highway 12, just south of Fetters Avenue. It blends bright images of vineyards, springs, Dia de Los Muertos icons, constellations named for animals, and more.
