Mural Sneak Peek: Meet & Greet

Join us on Tuesday, June 13th, from 6 – 7:30, for a preview of the latest mural installation at Park Towne Place. Featuring the work of Philadelphia-based painter Serena Saunders, this installation showcases a fresh, colorful perspective on the human imagination, directly inspired by the local community. The mural will be displayed in the South Tower on Park Towne Place’s residential campus.

As a supplement to their robust art program, Park Towne Place has partnered with InLiquid to institute a yearly rotational mural highlighting local artists within the Philadelphia community. The installation of the mural serves as a way to further connect Park Towne’s residential community with the local arts scene, and represents Park Towne’s support of local artists, galleries, and institutions.

About the Artist:

Serena Saunders is a full-time mother and practicing artist. Native to Philadelphia, Serena’s core is Fine Art but she also creates in the realm of Fashion Design and Writing. Her work as a painter has a fresh, color-strong perspective that speaks to our imagination while the subjects ask of our awareness. Her often large-scale, graphically bold, and poetically composed paintings offer the viewer layers of narrative. You will often find a matter of injustice or undying hope fighting its way through the line-work to prevail at the surface. Her work is influenced by her compassion toward youth and the community. This affection for the youth was nurtured during her decade spent teaching art and poetry at more than a dozen schools and non-profit organizations throughout Philadelphia and neighboring states. Serena Saunders has also served as the Creative Ambassador for the City of Philadelphia. She has been featured in numerous publications, including Rolling Out, The Philadelphia Tribune, and local televised news outlets.
