Hidden Meanings

This mural appears on the side of some new condominiums located in downtown Phoenix.  The artist, Clyde Thompson calls it "La Musa" which translates to "the muse".  Thompson completed his art studies at ASU and now has murals all over the valley.

The condominiums are called enHance Park Condominiums.  They are located near the Roosevelt Row Arts District on one side and the Margaret T Hance Park on the other side.  Hance Park is a city park named for Phoenix's first female mayor, Margaret Hance.    She was mayor of the city of Phoenix from 1976 to 1983.  Between the name of condominiums and the name of the mural, there is a lot of play on words going on here.

Taking part in Monday Murals.

    Why didn't they just call it "Hance Park Condominiums"? EnHance sounds pretty gimmicky. Someone was trying too hard!

    This is the second multi-story mural I've seen this week on Sami's link party. I think they are really neat. What a lot of work and talent!

    It's the stop action effect that pulls me in.

    My sincere apologies for visiting so late this week. I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my internet going, and now I'm playing catch up.

    This is quite unique. I am so happy you shared the history of this area. It's a beautiful mural, too.
