Abilene Christian University Optimist"Internationally acclaimed Cuban-American artist and ACU alumnus Rolando Diaz is bringing the ocean to Downtown Abilene.
Tom Rose, owner of Thomas Everett’s Fine Furniture, saw Diaz paint a mural in Peru recently and asked him to do a similar project on the side of the building on South 1st Street between Elm Street and Sycamore Street. The building is 145 feet in length, the majority of which will soon feature an ocean-themed mural.
“I think it’s going to be very nice, a real asset to the city,” Rose said. “The artist is fantastic for bringing his talents here. The mural is going to be very eye-catching.”
Diaz said he chose an ocean theme because, before coming to ACU, he had grown up in Miami and lived close to the ocean."
