Bangor Beautiful commissioned Jared Goulette aka The Color Wizard to create this colorful 2-story mural on the side of 116 Hammond Street in Downtown Bangor during the summer of 2024. The project beautified an unremarkable brick wall and helps to educate people about our natural environment.
The mural depicts the Maine forest floor in spring, including a vernal pool, plants such as fiddleheads, a local native food source. Flora and fauna depicted will be native to Maine.
Jared Goulette uses a vibrant color palette of premium spray paint to create his artwork and often showcases a multitude of shadowing, highlight effects and more to push the dimension and realism of his murals.
