About the Artist Community-Initiated Public Art

Artist Eli Argüello is painting a mural for the Peach Road Community Center. Her inspiration comes from the wonderful forests of Raleigh, its trees, flowers, and birds. In the middle of that natural environment, a girl practices sports, surrounded by nature, with a ball that carries her emotions; the flowers represent her dreams and hopes. The girls from the USA are soccer champions and an inspiration to so many women around the world, serving as examples of discipline and showing how girls can achieve their dreams.
