About the Artist
Artist: Carolyn Paplham
Artist Statement:
I’ve always loved finding art in unexpected places, and electrical boxes are such a great example of that—gray, utilitarian, unassuming… they’re the perfect canvas for adding a pop of color to a neighborhood. So I was very excited to be asked by Downtown Green Bay, Inc., to create a series of illustrations and bring some life to this set of boxes. I wanted them to be a celebration of many of the things I love about downtown, both big and small: the riverwalks, the old buildings, the farmer’s market, the sidewalk trees adorned with lights, and, of course, the wildlife! With officials and residents teaming up to make environmental restoration a priority in recent decades, urban wildlife has flourished throughout the county and added much to the charm of downtown Green Bay.
Wrapped electrical boxes located at the corner of Washington and Doty Streets.
