"Southern Magnolia Flag" Mural

This American flag-inspired mural was a labor of love by Tarabella Aversa on the side of Wheeler Construction & Restoration's building. Her tiny, one-inch brush was the largest applicator of paint as this celebration of the United States of America grew outward into downtown Manchester, Tenn. from the central, fully opened magnolia flower seen in the middle through an ethereal Stars and Stripes, ghostly and floating as a window into the universal symbols of freedom, justice and the American South.

The Southern Magnolia mural is located at 121 S. Spring St. in Manchester and was sponsored by CapStar Bank.
