Mural by Rachel Slick, Tim Schirack and Alexandra Gjurasic.

The winged heart on the side of Cafe 54, 54 E. Pennington St., was done by a team of artists: Rachel Slick, Tim Schirack and Alexandra Gjurasic. The wall is 18-feet high and 50-feet long, but “it felt longer than that,” says Gjurasic with a laugh. The biggest challenge was the texture of the wall on the building. “It has a thick adobe texture and it chewed through brushes and it ate paint,” she said.
