A Dusky Sparrow Soars on a Clematis Street Wall

This mural is beautifully balanced--an inspiring wall painting in West Palm Beach. It cleverly combines Agata Ren's interpretation of the now extinct Dusky Seaside Sparrow with Steve Brouse’s engaging art. The mural stands out for its simplicity and power—making it sad to realize that the handsome bird portrayed is now extinct.” Ren, a conceptual artist, explains her painting this way: “My artwork is currently dedicated to endangered species. I care a lot about our environment because I have children and I want them and their children to grow up in a healthy and beautiful world.”

The collective is working in partnership with the West Palm Beach Development Authority, Sub Culture Group and the City of West Palm Beach’s Art in Public Places.
