The story

Painted for Liberty Hill

Parkers Mercantile · Downtown Liberty Hill, TX · 20' x 65'
Commissioned by the City of Liberty Hill (Experience LHTX / Community Engagement)

A hometown postcard for Liberty Hill, painted across the Parkers wall. I've been sharing every stage of this wall, from primer day to the big lettering, and I'm so grateful to the City of Liberty Hill and everyone who's stopped by to cheer it on. The mural was completed in October 2026.
