The list of things for which San Francisco is famous include iconic bridges, world-class Pride celebrations, excellent food, and murals. The streets of San Francisco are a veritable outdoor gallery with classics from Diego Rivera, artistic achievements lining modest alleys like Balmy and Albion, and dozens of works by today's guest on Sea Change Radio. This week we are speaking with San Francisco artist and muralist extraordinaire, Sirron Norris, about his life’s work. We hear about the road he took to become a painter, the greatest challenges a muralist faces, and the delicate balance of creating art that both enhances and is integrated into its surroundings.
