Carl Cowden,
Florida Avenue Mural
2003

Acrylic on Stucco
1102 North Florida Avenue

Artist Carl Cowden’s postcard inspired mural merges images from past with the present on this historic building. The city-leased building is the home to Archives and Records, and houses several Tampa Police Department offices.

"My experience from advertising and sign painting, coupled with an early influence from Art Nouveau posters and a love of the natural environment has led me to seek to blend all of these elements in my work."
