Local Muralist Kimberly Smallenberg

"I was honored to be part of the creation of the Newport Ave. Market's new exterior. Owners Rudy and Debbie Dory contacted me to create a mural that would convey the freshness, color, whimsy and life that has characterized the interior of the warm and familiar Newport Ave. Market. With full creative freedom, spirit and passion, I created this finely detailed mural, for which I have great pride and am thankful to have had the opportunity to contribute to this fine community. I enjoyed the experience of working with both the market and public and hope it will always be a joy for all. For more information and to view my portfolio, please contact www.kimsmallenberg.com"
