“Don’t Wake the Dreamer” by Lauren Lee (@mslaurenlee) is located at 505 S. Hardy. The dreamer reposes along the wall, a hand clutching a flower at one end, a foot adorned with birds on the other, her peaceful face in between.

Shela Yu’s (@shellshaker) tranquil mural is located under a canopy of trees on the corner of 10th St. and Mitchell Dr. The hair flowing down the street contains the quote, “Let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.”

“Rise” by Laura Spalding Best (@bestsofphoenix) is located at Danelle Plaza. Best’s installation comes to life when you zero in on the details. Airplanes, power lines, palm trees and birds inhabit her color spectrum.
