"The American Eel" mural

Ivan Roque found us through the network of the internet. We loved his work, he loved the thought of painting a triptych in the river, and a story was born. The Florida-based, Cuban-American artist gravitates toward depicting flora and fauna native to the regions in which he paints. Representing a stylized American Eel in true Miami colors, this fish is an endangered species found only on the eastern coastal regions of the United States.

The American Eel mural is located along the Little Duck River Greenway in Manchester and was sponsored by L&H Distributing Co.
