HATTIESBURG, miss. (WDAM) – Visitors to downtown Hattiesburg enjoy the latest mural commissioned by the Hattiesburg Alliance for Public Art.

It’s called “Spread Your Wings” and is on the Batson Street side of the Fairley’s Wings restaurant.

The central figure of the mural is a hummingbird.

It was just completed by Austin, Tx. Artist Avery Orendorf.

She met with officials from the city of Hattiesburg and VisitHattiesburg on Friday morning to cut the ribbon.

“For me, the hummingbird is really like this beautiful, spiritual animal,” said Orendorf.

“We started the mural on Tuesday morning so we could finish this whole wall in three days. We were so grateful to have the wall primed for us by an incredible local painter. “

“I think it’s great, it’s a great addition to downtown and it brings life to this curb, so it’s a great addition,” said Nick Fairley, owner of Fairley’s Wings.

“Spread Your Wings” is the 30th mural in Hattiesburg.

It’s one of 45 stops on the Hattiesburg Public Art Trail.
