Once again, I'm joining Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. I missed last week because I was ill and didn't think I could visit everyone. Although I'm posting at my regular time, please be aware that Sami's mural linky won't go live until 11:01 a.m. my time.
This was painted by Alexis Rivierre.
According to her bio, Rivierre is an interdisciplinary artist and 2018 MFA in Art graduate at Wichita State University who constructs visual narratives that investigate memory, identity, representation and the social implications of race in the United States. She explains:
My work is often rooted in investigating the roles that representation play in the way we construct our identities. I seek to create a work that will communicate beauty, community, growth, strength, and purpose, as these are the words that influence both the representation and the abstract expressions in this piece. Though simplistic in its design, the circles in the work represent a unified community that works together. The flowers indicate continued growth, and the woman’s posture embodies a sense of strength and purpose.Here she is working on her mural. This mural can be found at 2130 N Market, Wichita, Kansas, USA.
If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World. If you stumble on a mural like I did the first time, Sami would love for you to share it, too.

Brilliant and always love seeing these murals.x
Wow! Love the mural and the message. Very cool to see her actually working on it too! Hope ou are doing well, and sending some air hugs your way. RO
This is a cool mural. I still can't get over all the murals in Wichita. Maybe I am just bad at noticing them around here (yes that is probably it), but it fun to do some from the couch sightseeing now that we are all stuck at home. Hope you are feeling much better. hugs-Erika
Clean and graphic- this is a nice one! I love the photo of the artist at work- it shows the magnitude of translating her design to a large-scale "canvas".
It is a beautiful mural, I was surprised to see how small the brushes were that she was using.
Stay safe and I hope you are feeling a bit better.
