Designed by local Sanford artist, Mark Seppala, the mural was inspired by the color palette and design of artist Heinz Edelmann, the artistic director of The Beatles’ 1968 Yellow Submarine animated film. The subject matter has been carefully tweaked to represent Sanford’s thriving arts community as well as pay homage to the city’s roots in celery.
A grouping of butterfly wings will be included to add an interactive element to the mural. Gallery celebrity, Louie the French Bulldog will also lend a helping paw to the mural by way of an interactive game of “Where’s Louie?” His little face will be hidden throughout the mural; see if you can find them all?
