MURAL #10

This mural celebrates the Cape Fear Kite Festival, an annual event that draws people from around the world to fly kites on the island.  

The Cape Fear Kite Festival was organized as a "fun fly" without competitions or rules (other than safety!) to unofficially wrap up the kite-flying year. It is attended by serious kite flyers who enjoy showing their sky art to anyone who appreciates it. While weather and wind dependent, SOMETHING will fly, we assure you! Thousands of spectators of all ages and all walks of life cover the beach and many (we hope) will get hooked on the fun and beauty of a kite string in your hand and color against the clouds.

 Artist Jenna Rice is based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Born and raised in New England, Rice made her way south in 2007 to further her education at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. She achieved her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art in 2012.

Rice enjoys playing with different colors, styles, and media. A versatile artist, Rice has been hired for various commissions throughout the city: including but not limited to menu boards, window paintings, and murals of all kinds.
