Bunnie Reiss Mural @ 73 Buffum St
About
This mural in downtown Lynn is the work of artist Bunnie Reiss and was organized by Beyond Walls. Reiss’s art is heavily influenced by her Eastern European background and its tradition of folk art and bright colors, and themes of magic, mysticism and the stars run through her imagery. The piece is one of the public artworks listed by the Downtown Lynn Cultural District for visitors exploring the area.
Reiss was born in Maryland and raised mostly in Colorado, where she studied literature and worked for NPR and other publications while painting on the side. A need to travel eventually took her to San Francisco, then a hub for creativity and guerrilla art, where she spent almost 15 years and found a community of artists to build and create with. She later relocated to Los Angeles to pursue larger mural and installation projects.
