Beyond Your Limits

When painting this piece, she chose shapes, patterns and colours that integrated well with the wall’s architecture. The mural represents going outside your boundaries, which is why she painted literal boundaries here with the map of the Beltline, mountains and rivers. There are also five bike patterns painted into the mountains — the bike, handle bars, the seat, chain wheel and pedals. She recommends taking a photo from across the street to capture the entire mural, but then getting up close to look at the graphic patterns.
