From a Temecula resident:
"I just wanted to say,… ❤️❤️❤️❤️the Emigrant Trail mural at Temecula City Hall…. Phenomenal work!!!
The detail is exquisite. The subject matter is amazingly inspiring, and the frame really shows your versatility and familiarity with your medium. 👍👍👍.
It’s a special piece to us, (my family). We have very good friends whom their father migrated here almost 70 years ago, and he has worked in the farming industry nearly most of that time carrying three full time jobs and sleeping rarely when able. Long story short... He just recently purchases a huge parcel of land along,… “Emigrate trail”. Where his family will carry out his legacy by working the land. It’s as -American- as it gets👍👍👍.
Your piece captures the essence of building a new life through daring to explore. We see it as a celebration of the adventurous spirit of bravery and homage to those who have,… “Journied West”. In search of a better life! ❤️❤️👊🏻👊🏻.
Thank you, mam."
