A local artist's contributions were recently acknowledged by the Department of Transportation and Public Works. His artwork is on display at a Metrorail station. The artist, who was born in Hialeah, is known for creating large murals.

He donated his time to complete the mural in a short period. His work has gained international recognition while still being connected to the urban environment of Miami. A proclamation was presented to the artist by Miami-Dade County Mayor, designating a specific day in his honor.

Further information about the celebration and the artist's work can be found through the Department of Transportation and Public Works or Community Newspapers.
