“Commuters and visitors to downtown Gresham will have to keep their eyes peeled for the latest mural, completed Wednesday, Aug. 9, which celebrates the local history surrounding berry farming and picking.
“'Gresham has been hungry for more art,' said Judy Han, president of Gresham Outdoor Public Art which commissioned the mural. 'Art is for everybody, it crosses all dividing lines and brings us together.'
“'We wanted Don to paint the second mural so the two would match each other in style,' Han said. 'It means so much to this community to have all of this beautiful art.'
“Gray is a nationally renowned muralist and longtime Oregon resident who is now based in Vancouver, Wash. Contact the artist at:dongraystudio@yahoo.com.”
