When I travel<\/a>, there are so many special moments that I try to capture with my heart, and my camera. Today I want to share one of those moments with you.<\/p>\n

During my recent visit to Mexico City<\/a>, I took a day to tour through the city with friends. We started our day visiting the giant wholesale flower market – Mercado Jamaica<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We parked on the street, in front of a huge mural<\/a> that stretches 2 blocks long and is about 20 feet high. It is huge! I stood among the parked cars, trying to capture images of the people walking by in front of the mural, with armloads of flowers.<\/p>\n

Mexico City<\/a> is a city of murals, with Diego Rivera’s work everywhere you go, in old and new buildings across the sprawling metropolis.<\/p>\n

There is a new breed of muralists who see themselves as Street Artists, or Graffiti<\/a> Artists. The painters who created this monster mural<\/a> are part of a collective called Germen, cofounded by Jonathan Ulsis Mendez and Luis Enrique G\u00f3mez Guzm\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

As Graffiti and Tagging<\/a> have evolved into Street Art as a respected art form, it has cleared the way for many young artists’ work to be shared with the public. The urge to fill a wall with color and design inspires quilters and street artists alike, and occasionally we see a quilt that is big enough to be a mural. When a quilt takes on the role of Public Art, it allows a message to be broadcast to passers by, giving a visual exclamation mark with no words spoken.<\/p>\n

I’ve added a few of our flower fabrics<\/a> to give you the feeling of the flower market – surrounded by baskets and buckets of fragrance and color for acres and acres!<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
