ZARZAUR LAW’S “MURAL ALLEY” – A FRIEND OF FOO EVENT
FRI. NOV 10 – SUN. NOV. 12, 2023
Downtown Pensacola (INTERSECTION OF ROMANA ST BETWEEN PALAFOX AND JEFFERSON ST)

SILENT AUCTION IS NOW OPEN!! BID, WIN AND SUPPORT Pensacola High School ART DEPT! >

Zarzaur Law, P.A., an award-winning personal injury law firm based out of Pensacola, Florida, will host “Mural Alley”, a three-day live painting event that will attract locals and visitors that are in the heart of Downtown Pensacola in conjunction with the Foo Foo Festival activities happening during the first two weeks in November. Visitors can watch 10 local mural artists, along with the Pensacola High School Art Department, work on large 5’x5’ canvases, 8’x10’ canvases, a four-sided 8’x10’ cube, and a 8’x20’ canvas wall similar to the wall for Zarzaur Law’s monthly “Legal Graffiti” fundraiser event held each month during Gallery Night.

Zarzaur Law’s “Mural Alley” is a FREE event that will take place at the intersection of Palafox and Romana Streets beginning Friday, Nov. 10 and concluding on Sunday, Nov. 12 in Downtown Pensacola on the closing weekend of Foo Foo Fest. The project allows the artists a 3-day timeframe to paint their artwork designs to completion, providing the public with ample time to explore and meet the artists while they work. The final pieces will be on display in conjunction with a silent auction.

In 2019, Zarzaur Law hosted a live painting event in front of our office and featured 3 local painters. Each canvas was 5’x5’ and we built oversize easels for them. The artists painted live all weekend and it drew a great crowd and the artists also got to network. It was great experience. Zarzaur law provided the easels, canvases, and stipend for the artists materials.

This year’s “Mural Alley” expands upon the original event!

MEET THE MURAL ALLEY ARTISTS

Bethany Davis –

Born and raised in northwest Florida, Bethany Davis developed an interest in art at a young age. At the age of 16 she won the congressional art show for congressional district one for her piece “childhood memories,” which hung in the cannon tunnel in Washington, DC. She is currently building her portfolio and eventually would like to get an apprenticeship tattooing. She tends to draw inspiration from the darker and spooky sides of nature and always jumps at the chance to sketch any animal that comes to mind.

Dylan Nadsady –

Dylan is an illustrator and fine artist who works in all mediums of analog and digital 2D art. He is inspired by the details and themes that shape our cultures and world. Through humor and raw emotion, he creates whimsical images that tell stories and provide an intense visual experience for the brain and soul.

‌

Dylan has grown up coast-to-coast, being equally inspired as much by suburban southern California as rural Florida. He strives to push popular culture storytelling to it’s next steps with fine art sensibilities and illustration discipline. Trained in both graphic design and fine arts while getting his BFA in Digital Arts at University of West Florida, Dylan is a proponent of how traditional fine art can influence design and illustration, and vice versa.

​

He has and continues to work in the design field professionally. He has created video exhibition content for the Wentworth Jr Museum in Pensacola, FL, as well as being the previous lead artist and graphic designer for Perfect Plain Brewing Co. He does work for a range of breweries in the gulf coast area, including Emerald Republic Brewing

We’re excited to have Dylan as one of our artists!

Hannah Legg – 

Hannah Legg is a muralist, illustrator, and designer who lives and works out of Silverhill, Alabama!

Lilly Stark – 

Growing up in a small town in North Dakota with a single mom who was both trained as a carpenter and a fine artist, Lilly Stark was always an artsy fart. Since 2014, she has been a member of the local art community and the Pensacola Muralists. In 2021 and 2022, she was selected as a CUBED muralist by the Pensacola Museum of Art. In 2021, she painted “Flying Squirrel Triblue” and in 2022, she painted “Crab Crossing”. She is proud of her work, which is now on display for the community. She is currently attending classes at the University of West Florida working on her BFA. Lilly continues to improve her painting skills and looks forward to the future of painting. She craves opportunities to paint landscapes and is constantly on the lookout for cool-looking trees to “have a conversation with.”

We’re excited to have Lilly as one of our artists!

Macy Lyn Wargo – 

Macy is a muralist from South Louisiana and is currently based in Gulf Breeze.

Patrick Quintanilla – 

Patrick Quintanilla, aka Pattysauces, is our fourth mural artist for Zarzaur Law’s “Mural Alley,” whom we would like to introduce!

Rod Leisure – 

The son of a hardworking plumbing contractor, he wouldn’t let the artist in him be stifled. The work ethic Rod “RodMan” Leisure gained while working with his father all those years is still evident in his work today, from a 100+ hour drawing to giant wall murals. He gained the vision and fortitude it takes to do a challenging subject and see it from start to finish. Rod’s practical, efficient approach to doing art stems from those years as a blue-collar worker. A great big “can do” attitude.

Ever inquisitive and often referred to as a renaissance man, Rod tackled many forms of art, jumping in with both feet on everything from Fine Art, Murals, Plein air, Sculpture, Custom paint…. the list, really does go on and on! It was his natural curiosity about how this whole “art thing” works that led him to demonstrating/lecturing, teaching and even consulting on a book being written on the art process.

Ronson Stewart – 

Ronson is a Pensacola-based live painter/muralist who specializes in mixed-media, larger-scale paintings composed of acrylic and aerosol. He really enjoys exploring crossing different genres of art together. As of recently, his art has been inspired by nature and pop art with a dash of psychedelic surrealism. He is currently a resident artist at Sub Culture Art Gallery, where he displays art and live paints at musical events.

A native Pensacolian, Tiffany is an accomplished muralist as well as a face and body paint artist. She has been featured in Bella Magazine’s April 2022 issue as well Gallery Night and featured in solo installations across the Gulf Coast. A multifaceted expressionist.
