About this mural:

As Atlanta continues to grow and evolve, we are faced with the dilemma of feeling caught in-between our nostalgia for the past and our ambitions towards the future. Upon touring the environments at Link Canvas, I was immediately reminded of my humble beginnings as an Atlanta artist. It feels fitting that years later, my work would bloom outwards onto all the walls of a building just down the street from the start of my journey. In creating this collection of murals, I wanted to feature a floral arrangement that combined multiple flowers that people associate with spring in this city. These compositions are intended to capture and evoke a renewed sense of hope and resilience. After every winter, we are gifted with a spring of promising growth. These painted walls are now emblematic of a link to my past while also being my canvas for a new future.

Christina Kwan

Christina Kwan is an Atlanta-based artist known for her abstract works on paper and large scale murals. Originally from South Florida, Kwan moved to Atlanta in 2010 after graduating from University of Florida with a BFA in Drawing. A decade and many different career paths later, the work she creates is an ongoing exploration of her Asian-American identity and the internal struggle of feeling incomplete or existing in-between. Kwan's work has been shown in a variety of commercial galleries and academic institutions while her murals span all across Metro Atlanta in places such as Emory University, Marietta Square, and Microsoft's Atlantic Yards. Her compositions feature bold and calligraphic brush strokes inspired by her East Asian heritage, acting as a yearning for permanence and a search for ancestral ties.
