"Downtown Rock Springs, WY is quickly becoming an arts center in southwest Wyoming. We’re home to large murals, sculptures and a unique “art underground” gallery. Since our first foray into public art with a large mural in the fall of 2014, we haven’t slowed down and are picking up speed.
The first mural was commissioned on a city-owned building that long sat vacant. Occupying a wall approximately 126 feet long by 24 feet high, the mural by artist Valerie Doshier was reflective of our landscape." (text from (

From left to right, this mural depicts a scene from the immediate area around Rock Springs. Mountainous terrain that gives way to the plains, wild horses racing an early steam train, buttes and peaks and stormy skies - things that represent daily life both in the past and the present in Rock Springs.
On a sad note, the artist of this beautiful mural passed away a year and a half after completing it.
