My lovely friend, Maria Hunt, painted some of the traffic light boxes on our Palm Desert shopping street, El Paseo. Art in public places is very important in Palm Desert, and is supported by the city and local businesses. Maria painted the 18th hole of Desert Willow Golf Course.
The scene wraps around both metal boxes, containing traffic light equipment. Here is Maria, with her art!

Those are really cool. They definitely do cover up some of the ugliness of our infrastructure. I also like how it tied into local golf course. She is very talented.
