The Pink Parking Palace, 2025-04

Scope and content:

Handmade postcard of a parking garage in Downtown Fort Myers, Florida with a coral border. Artist Statement: "While its practical use acts as simply a parking garage, this pink beauty located in the historic Downtown Fort Myers, has become a local monument. On the perfect evening, some will say that the pink paint will slowly blend into our iconic sunsets. Since its resurrection in 1996, it has maintained its pink glow...for now."
