“SWEET FARRAH” by artist Krystal Cook

This is one of six new murals in downtown Corpus Christi as part of Mural Fest  2023 held in June.  The quote at the top right hand corner reads :  “Every day is a good day, just some days are better. – Farrah Fawcett”  The traffic light and palm tree distract a bit to me, but it is a colorful addition to the downtown area.

Below is a part of the description of the mural  on the plaque next to it on the lower left.

This artwork commemorates the late Farrah Fawcett, celebrating her talent and the vibrant city she hailed from. Born in Corpus Christi on February 2nd, 1947, Farrah attended Ray High School before becoming an award-winning actress and beloved international icon. The mural portrays her using black and white imagery, blending her. classical aura with modern elements. Surrounding her are Texas wildflowers, emphasizing the beauty of her hometown.
