"Paris Mural" features notable French figures such as Marie Antoinette, Duke of Orléans, Philippe II, Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis Vuitton, Coco Chanel, Marie Curie, Simone Signoret, Brigitte Bardot, and Napoleon Bonaparte. The background features three map outlines showing the growth of the city throughout the centuries. Macomber has a long and storied career as a local creative visionary and artist. She asked for a sewing machine as a graduation present and honed her skills sewing her own clothing line, Mardi Gras costumes for private clients, and working as a costume designer for various theater groups. She hosts creative workshops throughout the city. Her works are saturated with bold colors and interesting visual texture and graphics. She combines her love for photography, architecture and fashion into a distinct style, and all of these elements are expertly mingled in the mural offered here. Reference: Cutrone, Lee.
