Loganberry Books Mural

Gene Epstein, 2011
Picture
The tour begins in the historic Shaker Square area at Loganberry Books, 13015 Larchmere Boulevard.

​The colorful mural is located on the side of the building.This mural, celebrating literacy and community, has graced the side of Loganberry Books in the charming Larchmere area since November of 2011.  Artist Gene Epstein was commissioned to create the mural with suggestions for book titles from neighborhood residents, workers and schoolchildren.  The chosen titles represent children’s literature, local businesses and the city of Cleveland.  The work is created from photographs of actual individual book spines. The final image has been enlarged, printed on vinyl-coated banner cloth, affixed to plywood and mounted on the wall of the building. 
 
Gene Epstein currently works as an artist, book artist, bookbinder, exhibit designer, muralist and jazz bassist. Ms. Epstein has an MFA in Painting and a BA in Studio Art. She is a former college art teacher, former museum Exhibits Department director, and former museum educator. Her folded book sculptures were featured in the 2011 book Book Art, Iconic Sculptures and Installations made from Books, published in Great Britain.

Spring Birds

Kimberly Dailey, 2024
Picture
Artist’s Description of design:  "This design combines my love of painting with my love of graphic design and collage. As I'm awakened every spring morning by the copious amount of birds outside my window, I thought it would be fun to create a box design  showcasing fantastical birds combining hand painted sky and digitally designed birds"

Dailey is a Graphic Designer & Video Production Specialist and is Multi-media & Design Manager at Laurel School.
