Giant Walkerville mural pays tribute to famous Windsor-born musical figures
Windsor Star
Music was on the mind of Windsor mural artist Briana (Athena) Benore when she conceived and completed her latest project: A giant painting on the side of the Cool 100.7 FM building in Walkerville.
"It's the biggest I've ever worked on," said Benore. "The biggest yet."
Measuring 70 feet across and 50 feet high, the mural is Benore's most ambitious work to date. Creating it required more than 300 cans of spray paint and the use of an aerial work platform.
