Muralist Kim Radford of Nashville was commissioned by the non-profit organization Do More Art Events to create the final piece in the inaugural Walls for Women project in 2020. Walls for Women was a state-wide effort across Tennessee with seven different murals created by seven female artists in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, and Tennessee's historic role as the deciding vote to ratify the Amendment. Radford's "This Girl Can" mural also has a sister wall in Huntsville, Alabama, with another piece by the same "This Girl Can" name.

A smattering of color stands out on Fairview Boulevard, showing off an entire community’s artistic stylings through a mural near Country Cafe. Around the words “Fairview, Tennessee 37062” are images that represent Fairview’s landscape and culture—trees, lakes, wildlife, a sunset, and a nod to Bowie Nature Park. The Fairview Arts Council added the black outline for the entire mural in late 2020. Community members of all ages came together in socially-distanced time blocks to paint different sections. You’ll find all of the artists’ names signed in a tree trunk on the far right-hand side. Here’s an I-Spy for kids: Can you find Buddy among the brush strokes? Buddy is a black dog who came to live next to the mural about five years ago (you’ll see his bed and food nearby) and never left. He is the area’s local mascot —and is now memorialized as a Fairview icon in paint.

A very special mural by artist Amy Stielstra is located at Riley’s Salon! In 2019, Raymond Marcial Cruz passed away after a three-year battle with bone cancer. A lover of music and a talented singer-songwriter, Ray was described as a “constant bright light to those who knew him” and lived by the motto of, “You can’t choose what happens to you, but you can choose how to respond. He encouraged those around him to live fully, show positivity, and give back to others—inspiring the “Let Your Light Shine” mural. Amy Stielstra painted the mural in a vibrant palette of red, yellow, blue, orange, and coral colors. The mural is accompanied by a plaque with a QR code that directs visitors to the Ray of Light Foundation to celebrate Ray’s legacy.

This interactive piece explores the intersection of public art and social media. Artist Kelsey Montague intended for the mural to be uplifting and to remind passers-by to reflect on what is most important to them. To her, the kites are a metaphor for hope—something to keep hanging on to.
