Carlsbad Art and Culture

On August 3–4, Ukrainian-born artist Anna Pearson painted her mural titled Focal Point on the Carlsbad Art Wall at Señor Grubby’s in the Carlsbad Village.

Pearson attempts to tell the story of a lost and lonely Ukrainian girls who eventually found her place and purpose using the lines of nature as her artistic tools.

“This mural is my Focal point where all elements and aspects converge, but at the same time it’s YOUR focal point too,” Pearson says. “I wanted for everyone to interact with my design that twists and dances around the viewers, wrapping them into an infinite loop. There is no beginning or end to so many things, like life itself or creativity, but there is a moment in it for everyone to be in the center, to be in the focus, YOUR moment to shine.”
