About the Artists
AJ Davis, a multi-disciplinary artist from Denver, Colorado, brings a rich background in mural production, casting, and metal fabrication. His murals and installations span Europe, Indonesia, and Central America, merging painting and sculpture in compelling ways. Davis shared that he draws inspiration from the Everglades, featuring a striking blue heron alongside two of South Florida’s endangered species: the ghost orchid and the hieroglyphic moth.
Kenny Maguire, a seasoned painter and muralist with over 40 years of experience, has been transforming communities through vibrant, site-specific artwork since his youth. One of his most notable pieces, River of Grass, is a massive freehand mural of the Everglades at sunrise, painted on the side of the Seminole Theatre building using only 5-inch brushes. Maguire climbed to the top of the building more than 250 times to complete the mural, a testament to his remarkable dedication to public art. He has also completed murals in Fort Pierce, Key West, Tallahassee, and his home state of Ohio.
