“Working with the City of Montgomery has truly been a delightful experience,” said Peyton Harshfield. “The warmth and kindness
of the people there have made my time incredibly rewarding. Their patience and encouragement inspired me to experiment and apply new techniques in creating these two murals, and I couldn’t have asked for a better client.
The community in Montgomery has been a joy to collaborate with, offering stimulating conversations and uplifting comments throughout the process. I am genuinely grateful to have been a part of this project and eagerly anticipate future endeavors.” – Peyton
