Folks walking by Rainbow Park in Silverthorne might notice a new mural on the side of the building at the park’s entrance.
The mural was painted by Denver-based artist Danielle SeeWalker. SeeWalker is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota, and the mural takes inspiration from her heritage.
SeeWalker was approached by her friend and former-local artist Shannon Galpin about doing a mural centering around water, and her interest was immediately sparked. A few years ago, SeeWalker’s tribe made headlines for working to protect its waterways, which gave her a closer connection to the mural.
