This intriguing mural is located on the wall of the
Western Post liquor store at the corner of S. San
Francisco Street and E. Phoenix Avenue in historic
downtown Flagstaff. It is across the street from the
Grand Canyon International Hostel, formerly known
as the Downtowner Motel. The old "Downtowner"
sign makes an easy reference point for finding this
mural. We believe the artist is Jane Williams, a local
muralist and performing musical artist who is also
known as "Universalia Jane." According to
her
Web site, "…Universalia Jane is a supernatural
thinker and a secret warrior priestess…"
Completed in 2003, the mural captures the imagination,
transporting the viewer into the dreams of a slumbering
cowgirl.
Update 1/21/07: Craig Brown of Bellevue,
Washington wrote to confirm that Jane Williams is
the artist who painted this mural.
Update 8/09/24: There are murals in the historic downtown area, but we think this one is gone. If you visit this location and find that the mural is still here, please contact us at rta@roadtripamerica.com and we will update this page. We hope you enjoy viewing these mural pages as much we did when we originally found them. – RTA Writers Group.
