“Quanah Parker”

Nicky Davis (Houston, TX)

The “Quanah Parker” mural is a collage of all things Texas—from the largest number of bats in any state, to the flora and fauna of bluebonnets and coyotes. This Texan imagery all centers around the figure of Quanah Parker, who was the last chief of the Comanche, as his mother was from around the West Dallas area.
