Five Beautiful Things

 

Life Finds a Way

San Francisco-based muralist and artist Mona Caron believes in the power of resilience, both in nature and in the human spirit. Many of her murals depict plants and flowers in deep urban settings, serving as a reminder of Mother Nature’s constant presence and offering symbolic hope to anyone who may feel downtrodden or lost. Within each mural are countless details that are not always visible from afar, many of them chronicling historical facts about the city or the very location of the mural itself. Rich with symbolism, her murals are always bright and hopeful despite their sometimes ruinous settings.

Mona has murals around the United States and around the world: Brazil, Bolivia, Switzerland. Her work has also been commissioned by numerous non-governmental organizations around the world who are seeking to raise awareness about environmental issues, farmers’ rights and the fair-trade movement. Below are five examples of her murals. Click here to see more of her work.
