I love the crossover that one gets to see between the professional muralist/artist that gets paid for commissions, and the same artist painting the streets for pleasure. Esme Lower is one of those artists who seems to span these worlds with ease, and this 9is one of her commissions in the heart of Easton.

This mural is at the entrance of the Bristol Sweet Mart, the largest supplier of ethnic foods in the southwest of England. Esme Lower’s piece features some of the herbs and spices that the outlet is well-known for, and somehow captures the south Asian vibe really well. It was an unexpected pleasure coming across this piece on a recent stroll in Easton.
