I bought my first house in Anna, Texas when I was 19
years old. That was 19 years ago! Since then I have been
waiting for the day when Anna would have an opportunity
to have public art, and today is the day! I am so excited for
this project! As a long time resident of Anna, I of course
am greatly invested in this project. I want to create a
mural that the residents of Anna love, and that visitors
come to see. It would be a huge source of pride for me to
create one of the first public murals in Anna, Texas.
I specialize in public murals, signs, and birds. A. Holmes
Art Studio is a female owned business, has general liability

companies such as Mendocino Farms, ALoft Hotels,

Street McKinney. I have created a 100' long mural, and I
am contracted for another 13.5'x80' mural in 2023. I also
have experience with wood panel installations at Tupps
Brewery, The McKinney Day of the Dead Festival. The
Cotton Mill, and Grady Lane.
