On Friday we watched an artist create graffiti on blank walls at Tehaleh Skatepark in Bonney Lake. Our rep from MacPherson's initiated this event, and we sponsored this in partnership with them and the Tehaleh HOA. It is truly amazing to watch what Devin created with cans of spray paint. Stop by and check out the art walls for yourself.
I was impressed with the time Devin took to explain the process to some kids who were watching. They had questions and he patiently explained his work to them. Maybe they will be inspired to create spray paint art too.
Artist bio:
Devin Finley: Murals, canvas, custom artwork big and small, it doesn’t matter what it is, Devin Finley of DefineArts can paint it. He takes pride in being able to do any and all things, which is beneficial for a commercial artist. “It gets me out of my comfort zone and allows me to grow as an artist.” Drawing is a skill that came naturally to Devin. His talent was recognized early on. Aside from a few classes as a kid at the Olympia Center and Olympia High School, Devin is essentially a self-taught artist. He started painting on walls as a teenager, spraying graffiti on the many “free walls” that used to dot the alleyways of downtown Olympia. Devin still does free-hand work, and also creates intricately detailed scenes on canvas, both on commission and through his own inspiration.
