Desert Freedom – Maricopa, AZ
Artist: Riley Burke
Sponsor: City of Maricopa
Location: in front of QT
Desert fit Arizona, which is how she came up with the first part of the name. Then, she needed an adjective to describe the piece. She chose freedom because horses are “pretty free and wild.” Doing research on the town she discovered how significant Native tribes are to the town, so she wanted to include something Native related.
She decided she wanted to reflect on Maricopa now with one side of the horse portraying a popular city and tourist spot, the movie theater. Then, she painted the other side with the old Maricopa, where there’s wildlife.
