"Every family has a member who ends-up with the boxes of old family photos. San Jose’s Margaret Ma is that person in her family.
But unlike most keepers of hand-me-down nostalgia, Ma figured why let the family history just rot away in a dusty shoebox when there was a perfectly good stucco wall outside her home. So she hired an artist to turn the family photos into murals — for everyone to see.
In her Palm Haven neighborhood in San Jose’s Willow Glen, Ma hired artist Scott Willis to paint a series of murals on the exterior wall of her historic home — based on her family photos of the region." (
