David Guinn has been painting murals in his hometown of Philadelphia for nearly 30 years. In “the mural capital of the world,” as Philly is often referred, David’s journey as an artist, muralist, and Philadelphian has been a remarkable one. He’s gone from eager apprentice to arguably one of the more prolific public painters in the city.

In today’s episode, host Conrad Benner talks with David Guinn about the life of a working artist. They discuss how David has continued to define and redefine his style as his skills and curiosities has evolved. David recalls decisions, opportunities, and happenstances that have helped him carve his very distinct path. And, they talk about why murals are important for cities and how they get made.
