LIFE IN BLOOM AT LA CASA ROSA
OREGON CITY, Oregon
Artist Devin Finley was hard at work this winter installing designs at La Casa Rosa, the Community Center at Las Flores, a new affordable housing development complex in Oregon City, Oregon.
Across the exterior and breezeway of the Community Center, Devin was tasked with installing a beautiful set of designs created by Vitor Bastos. Vitor is the design strategist that coordinated the creative teams working on the housing project around three pillars: Home, Pride and Play. Focused on the sense of pride, the breezeway mural acts as an icon for the community. The leaves in the design are an extension of the wallpaper inside the building, the exaggerated proportions to invoke the feeling of a symbol for the community and promote relationship between the exterior and interior, welcoming people in.
“We have been thrilled to be a part of this wonderful community project with many creative minds thinking collaboratively to make something really beautiful.” – PeroDesign
“I felt very honored to be selected to install this artwork knowing that they trusted me to somewhat represent them as an artist. This was a large project with lots of graphic details.” – Devin Finley
“The collective dedication on this project was unique and inspiring! Seeing the mural come to life though the work of Devin was priceless, I’m still at awe." – Vitor Bastos.
The Community Center features a communal gathering space and includes onsite services from non-profits such as Hacienda CDC.
