Murals by Michael Brown : These murals have been painted by Michael Brown over the last 20+ years. Weather, age, and the urban environment have taken their toll on these once colorful and vibrant murals. The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill, the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, and the Chapel Hill Historical Society have launched a campaign to preserve them. In this gallery the first photo will have the artist's statement and will show the whole mural: the photos that follow are more detailed. Click on each photo for a larger view. To read Michael Brown's description of his creative process, find the photos with "ARTIST'S STATEMENT " in the text. Michael's description is used in this gallery with permission from both Michael Brown and The Chapel Hill News. I have arranged the photos in this gallery as a walking tour that revolves around two public parking lots- the one by 411 West Franklin Street and the one on the corner of Rosemary and Columbia Streets. I hope you will take a stroll through town to see the murals! These photos are copyright Laura Shmania-- all rights reserved. Please do not use these images without my written permission.
