The Play Her Voice Mural was painted on the side of a commercial building that faced a customer parking lot. Although a fairly simple mural compared to others, it packs a dramatic visual wallop.

Centerpiece
The centerpiece of the mural featured a woman without a mouth who played a large keytar. The idea is that women's voices are more effectively heard when spoken through art.
