Soar
Everyone has, at one time or another, wondered what it would be like to fly. Or at the very least, wonder what having a set of wings would look like. This mural invites people to interact with it and see themselves as something other-worldly, and to share that image with our wingless peers online.
Hidden Zen
This art conveys that an immovable object can be manipulated with a small gesture. The image of a person ‘pulling back’ the brick to reveal a colorful zentangle design is intended to make one wonder if the brick is really brick at all or just an illusion hiding a zen-ful secret. This mural begs to be photographed and shared, with the viewer wondering, “how did you…?”

Stories behind the Art
- Durga Ekambaram was chosen to paint 4 panels for the Art Cube project each one is full of vibrant colors. Each one took 5 hours to complete. And instead of payment, she is asking that we donate on behalf of her work to the non-profit O.U.R. – Operation Underground Railroad. We will be donating $600 on behalf of her time and talents.
- Daybreak Resident Cara Ann Mathis says, "Daybreak has been such a life-changing community for me, I'd love to give back however I can. In recent months, our country has endured more than I've seen in 30 years -- earthquakes, pandemics, global riots...the hits keep coming. But every day, when I sit on my porch and see my neighbors still smiling at each other and waving, hugging when they can, and enjoying all that Daybreak has to offer, I'm so grateful to be in this community. I don't know how I would've made it through this year so far without Daybreak, and this artwork demonstrates the communal reset we've all been able to take by living here and, for many of us, working from here now, too. It's been such a blessing."
- Michael Monson says, "I have always believed my artwork should make a bold statement, hoping to evoke emotional responses and connections with my viewers. I like to weave soft color and line work while applying a heavier hand when bold is necessary to convey a point. For this work, I’ve used acrylics to capture the beauty of these delicate, colorful poppies found in a remote field while out enjoying a drive in our beautiful valley."
- Daybreak Resident Mike Warren says, "It reminds me of going swimming as a kid and getting out of an unheated pool to lie on the concrete to warm up. The subject is my 6-year-old grandson at their local pool and others in the series are from my photographs taken that same day."

Piece Name: Lady in the Garden
- By: Dennis Smith
- Materials: Bronze - This sculpture was cast at Adonis Bronze in Alpine, Utah, and is of the highest quality
the material the industry can provide. - Location: 4867 West Veeroma Way
- Dimensions: Height 53” Width 33” Length 30”
It was originally commissioned by a vineyard in Napa Valley, California and the first casting is currently displayed at their entrance. The peaceful look on the woman’s face, the active gesture of planting or collecting flowers, I think all play well into the goal of what you’re trying to accomplish.

Located at Tunnel under 114th street and Kestrel Ridge.
