“Wish Granter” by Emily Ding. A California based muralist who draws inspiration from flora, fauna, and human temperament. Her large-scale work is characterized by expressive animals and figures that come to life through bold color gradients and a fluid, painterly style. 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 (SDMF) 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.
