2026 Magical Mural Tour
September 1 - 30
1. Berry Good Day by Faith Marzolf
I wanted to create a colorful mural that brings a smile to people’s faces as they pass by. Available for purchase - click here.
2. Victorious by AHG Troop MI 1335
This collaborative mural was created by the American Heritage Girls Troop MI 1335 with each participating member painting an individual square that comes together to form a bold lion, representing this year's theme "Victorious." The art reflects the work of girls ages 5 through 10. Each brushstroke reflects the unique creativity and contribution of a young artist, reminding us that we are stronger when we work together.
All proceeds from the sale of the artwork will directly support troop activities, helping to provide meaningful opportunities and encouraging the next generation of confident, capable, and caring young women. Available for sale - click here.
3. Heroes by Tom Trevarrow
Heroes don’t always wear capes.
Inspired by the bold colors, dramatic lines and storytelling of vintage comic books, Heroes celebrates the extraordinary that can be found in ordinary people. Layered over pages of classic comics, the piece is a reminder that courage, kindness and strength come in many forms—and sometimes the smallest act can make someone a hero.
As David Bowie reminded us, “We can be heroes, just for one day.” Maybe being a hero isn’t about saving the world. Maybe it’s about showing up, standing up, helping someone, or simply choosing to make a difference when the opportunity presents itself.
Because every one of us has a hero inside. Available for purchase - click here.
4. Spider-Man WANTED by Marisa Cohen
As a huge Spider-Man fan, I wanted to create a piece inspired from the newest movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home. I felt that this would be a fun concept to showcase where Spider-Man was last seen right here in Rochester, MI! Available for purchase - click here.
5. Playing Koi by Mack Kozlowski
I draw to make other people happy. I drew a koi because watching koi makes me happy. Available for purchase - click here.

8. Rochester - Then & Now by Carla Gallusser
Rochester – Past and Present
Rochester – Past and Present is a tribute to the city that has shaped my life. Born, raised, and still proud to call Rochester home, I created this mural as a reflection of the places, businesses, landmarks, and gathering spots that have been woven into the fabric of our community for generations.
The collage brings together familiar establishments from Rochester's past alongside the thriving places of today, celebrating the city's remarkable journey while honoring its roots. Each image represents more than a building—it tells a story of memories, traditions, friendships, and the enduring spirit of a community that continues to grow without forgetting where it began.
This mural is both a personal journey and a community portrait, inviting viewers to reminisce about the Rochester they remember while appreciating the vibrant city it has become. It is a celebration of history, progress, and the timeless connections that make Rochester a place so many are proud to call home. Available for purchase - click here.
9. Where Community Blooms by Susan Sanderson
Where Community Blooms celebrates the OPC as a place where adults 50+ come together to build friendships, explore new interests, stay active, and continue to grow in every season of life.
10. Big by Nichole Watson
Big Invites viewers to step into the life of an ant and experience an ordinary backyard as an extraordinary landscape. By changing perspective, the work reflects our own place in the universe—small, yet capable of wonder. It suggests that significance isn't measured by size, but by our willingness to pause, observe, and appreciate the world around us. Available for purchase - click here.
11.Slither & Slide by Cynthia Armstrong Rosa
Ernest Thompson Seton once described an Otter: “joyful, keen and fearless.” Slither & Slide is the 5th mural in my series based on my studies of animals in motion. I have always been fascinated with capturing movement and the life that can be implied in a still image.
In water, Otters are all fluid and grace, and when traversing ice and snow across flat landscape, it is evident that an Otters slide is used as a form of locomotion. There is an efficiency to their sleek body shape bunching Into a run and then gliding flattened, with the legs behind them.
BUT the Otters reputation for playfulness is not misplaced...when one sees them repeatedly sliding down snowbanks only to climb and slide again it is clear they are deriving something beyond merely efficient transportation from it.
Their joyous energy is infectious; what a beautiful creature! I could have watched them for hours, puzzling over how to portray that joy, silliness, and grace of movement all at once.
"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of snow." Anonymous

12. Forest Path by Joseph Crowley
I am inspired by walks in the woods and the variety of colors found in nature.
13. Breath of Autumn by the Washington Art Guild
Several artists from the Washington Art Guild collaborated on creating this beautiful Fall mural, as it speaks of everything Michigan has to offer, during this breathtaking time of year.
14. Resistance by Jacqueline Silhouette
Ohms Law is the electrical current through a conductor between two points and is proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Sometimes who you were and who you will become are the two points. It takes the right experiences to conduct the change.
15. Rochestina The Monarch by Sam Turner
“Rochestina The Monarch” is a piece celebrating Rochester Hills and the imaginative themes of the Magical Mural Tour. The eponymous Rochestina is half dragon half monarch butterfly, symbolizing the beauty of summertimes in Michigan and the grandeur of Rochester. Available for purchase - click here.
16. Quiet Chaos by Gina Iannarelli
Quiet Chaos reflects the gentle paradox of living with cats. Their curiosity, playfulness, and endless personality fill a home with life, yet in moments of rest they become symbols of complete tranquility. This piece celebrates the harmony between joyful chaos and quiet stillness.
Dedicated to our sweet sisters, Happy and Chubbs.

17. Sturgeon Rising by Bridget Elmore & Kimberly Carter
Bridget and Kimberly went to Sturgeon Fest in Port Huron this summer and were inspired to help the fishies! Lake sturgeon are an endangered species and are vital to the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. They plan on auctioning the piece at Sturgeon Fest 2027 with part of the proceeds going towards conservation efforts.
18. Field of Dreams by Katie Price
“Field of Dreams” showcases my close-up view of color, composition, and nature seen through the eyes of a free soul. My future shines brighter than it has ever been before. Enjoy the view. Available for purchase - click here.
19. Copperbelly by Laura Hietala
The copperbelly water snake is an endangered species that can be found in southern Michigan as well as northern Indiana and Ohio. As a lifelong Michigan resident, Laura is passionate about creating pieces that highlight local flora and fauna, especially those that are at risk of being lost. One of the best ways to help preserve copperbelly snakes is to identify and protect the wetland habitats they call home. Available for purchase - click here.
20. Cherub Angel by Emily Torpey
My mural, Cherub Angel, features a celestial figure with bright red hair and soft blue wings. By painting her at such a large scale, I wanted to create a quiet, peaceful moment that allows the audience to stop and look for a second. It’s also become a bit of a personal project for me. Many people have pointed out that she looks just like me, which has turned the piece into a fun, unexpected reflection of myself. Available for purchase - click here.
21. Jellytime by K.J. Duffy
I love the beach and the ocean, and I've always thought jellyfish are beautiful and fascinating. I chose jellyfish as the subject of my mural to share their beauty through my artwork. Available for purchase - click here.
