La Madre Naturaleza

Kimberly Duran and Elizabeth Cardenas, 2013

Here the artists Kimberly Duran and Elizabeth Cardenas depict St. Anne blowing a kiss of life to the community of Santa Ana. The mural also depicts community gardens, nature and flowers. All beauty inspired by the streets of Santa Ana and its people. Located on the side wall of the now historic Macres Florist, a flower shop that has operated for over 75 years at Broadway and 5th Street.

The images for the mural were based on over 200 interviews with city residents and visitors to downtown Santa Ana.  These surveys were then gathered and incorporated into the image. Mother nature was depicted through the lead artist as the communities voice of beauty in the streets and was collaboratively painted by the community and over 30 different local artists.
