  • Summary

  • This week’s guest is Andrea Martin, an interior designer, artist, and muralist based in Hendersonville, NC. She is a native of Henderson County and has painted dozens if murals all over the Southeastern U.S. We will focus today on three that she did in her hometown.

    Andrea is using her artistic talents to serve her community. After being moved by the story of a veteran that had experienced negativity after returning from Vietnam, she took it upon herself to find a building on which she could paint a huge tribute to all veterans. She had to be persistent and resourceful to make it happen, working with the building owner, navigating city regulations, trying to find time while working another full-time job, and enduring the challenges of painting her first mural. She overcame them all and completed the mural. Her work was so appreciated by the citizens of the town and it won a national award for the most striking mural in the nation in 2016.

    She will tell us the story of that mural and two others she did all with the goal of beautifying her town. You will be inspired by her determination and self-sacrifice to help her community.
