Boulder Creek Business Association Commissions Hand-painted Mural

by Yeshe Jackson

I was absolutely honored to be asked by the Boulder Creek Business Association to paint this mural. Having been born and raised in Boulder Creek, the idea of creating a large work that commemorated the creation of Big Basin State Park and celebrated the beauty of the town was a dream come true. The BCBA and I worked with the Boulder Creek Museum to find photos to work from, which I then combined into the design that you now see on the side of Johnnie’s Super Market.

Featured from left to right are the McCarry Ridge overlook, a group of Boulder Creek loggers from the 1800s, a lumber mill from the same time, Sempervirens Falls, a vintage style welcome sign, and the Commercial Hotel, which stood where Johnnie’s Super Market now stands. We will be having an event later this month, probably the week before the Santa Cruz Mountains Harvest Festival, to celebrate the mural’s completion. Be on the lookout for announcements soon! www. facebook.com/BCBusinessAssociation
