Downtown has new flora, fauna mural

Date:

One Sixty One is proud to present the second mural of the development’s public art project. An Emily Ding original located at 306 S. Friendswood Dr. depicts a beautiful scene of Texas flowers and wildlife.

Ding is an internationally renowned muralist who has done art installations all around the world. She draws inspiration from flora, fauna, and human temperament.

Her large-scale work is characterized by expressive animals and figures, which come to life through bold color gradients and a fluid, painterly style. Resonating deeply with the phenomena of the natural world, she aims to communicate emotions and experiences, through storytelling with wild creatures and people.

She grew up in the Friendswood area and attended Clear Springs High School. https://www.emilyding.art

Local artist Sara Peters is the project’s art curator and coordinator for the development.

One Sixty One has more mural installations in the planning stages. The next one will be located at 214 S. Friendswood Dr.

These murals represent One Sixty One / Banfield Properties’ commitment and vision to bring more art, color, and beauty into the Downtown District.

One Sixty One is a Downtown Friendswood premier mixed-use development/re-development anchored by a 30-room boutique hotel with residences, restaurants, retail, banquet rooms, collaborative spaces, and a green roof top experience.
