"Elemental Discovery was commissioned by the City and created by artist Sheldon James. With nineteen years of experience creating commissioned artwork, Sheldon James ranks among the most experienced and skillful muralists in Colorado. He has created well over one hundred murals in private homes, businesses and public places. The plain wall of the building became a 3,000 square foot outdoor abstract piece of art. To create Elemental Discovery, Sheldon James constructed a ½ inch to the foot model and photographed it. Then he made 50 sketches to help him with the painting the mural." (from (
