Annie Preece Returns to the Carlsbad Art Wall

Carlsabd Art Wall Annie Preece

On Saturday, January 12, Los Angeles artist Annie Preece returned to the Carlsbad Art Wall and painted a mural located on the east facing wall of Señor Grubby’s in the Carlsbad Village.

Annie’s last mural four years ago was a surreal elephant with a swollen truck that morphed into multiple tentacles across the width of the wall.

Her surreal influence returned with her recent visit in the shape of a brightly painted peacock exploding through the wall. Careful shading created a trompe l’oeil effect tricking the eye with its photographically realistic detail.

Started in March 2015, Carlsbad Village based artist Bryan Snyder will be bringing a street artists/muralist every 2 months to paint a mural on the east facing wall of Señor Grubby’s in the Carlsbad Village.

The goal of the Carlsbad Art Wall is to serve as a conduit between aspiring artists and professional artists, to provide a platform to engage and educate the Carlsbad community in the creative act of large scale public painting and to introduce a variety of new art and creative processes to the Carlsbad community.
