SPOTLIGHT ON PUBLIC ART
DENISE DUONG | LIFE IN THE LIGHT
FILM ROW

In the summer of 2018, local developers Jones Avenue Partners invited artists to submit original art proposals for two walls on the new West Village Parking Garage at 927 W. Sheridan Ave. Local Oklahoma City art darling, Denise “Lil’ D” Duong, was selected for the West Village Parking Garage Murals out of over 40 national and international proposals. Duong completed the south-facing wall in February of 2019 and the west-facing wall in April of 2019. The murals were paid for by Jones Avenue Partners along with a contribution from Downtown Oklahoma City Initiatives.

Denise said, "Light, music, and love are my influences for these two pieces. Oklahoma is known of their sunsets and their skies, so I wanted to emphasize that in the setting that the characters are in. I feel like there's a lot of life happening in downtown OKC and the area for the murals." 

To learn more about Denise, visit her website or her gallery in the Paseo Arts District.
