Little River Restoratives and Co.

Local artist Claire Cronkhite created this mural in 2015 for Little River Restoratives. While mostly in keeping with Cronkhite's signature style, with exaggerated facial features and airbrushed shading, she incorporated some stylistic elements of the 1920s to match the "speakeasy" theme of the bar. Also check the front for another small mural!

Before Little River Restoratives took up this spot, it was home to a coffee shop and bookstore called La Paloma Sabanera. The coffee shop had its own mural in the same spot as the current one, but in a drastically different colorful and somewhat psychedelic style.

Lindaluz Carillo: "So the artist Claire, she has done a lot of murals of, like, women with big eyes and, like, very elaborate details. So that's kind of just like, um, a more simplified version of her style. Of course, you know, often when artists work with businesses or like, a client, right? You know, their style is more modified, I guess I would say, in order to fit the aesthetic or the vibe. Sometimes you'll see that."
