In The Ashes of Paradise

Art:

While the rest of the world saw the scorched aftermath of the most destructive wildfire in California's history, artist Shane Grammer saw an empty canvas on which to create beauty and, perhaps, hope.
A creative director for theme parks, the former graffiti artist recently spent a week in Paradise, the town devastated by last year's Camp Fire. While there, he painted murals on the remnants of abandoned houses and burned-out cars, offering a haunting tribute to a community that has lost almost everything.
