“Grow Your Own Way” by Wild Wallflowers (Hayley Spradlin, Lauren Mayhew, and Maranda Thrum.) Local artists that met while studying graphic design at UCO and have remained friends’ years after graduation. They describe their mural style as bright, whimsical, and a bit rebellious. This mural was one of fifteen murals added to the public art collection during the Sunny Dayz Mural Festival in Edmond in 2022; a total of thirty-one murals were installed. The mission Sunny Dayz Mural Fest is to empower, elevate, and celebrate women and nonbinary artists through the creation and advocacy of public art. Although women make up nearly 50% of working artists, they are underdog in the arts. Prior to the Sunny Dayz Mural Festival only 14% of Edmond’s murals were by women.
Purchased through the Edmond Visual Arts Commission (EVAC) with a private donor/public matching fund program called Art in Public Places. The donors were Sunny Dayz Mural Fest and the OK Mural Syndicate.
