Belmont's happy new mural!
An old brick wall has blossomed to new life with a vibrant, artistic, uplifting mural in the heart of downtown Belmont, N.C.
Spearheaded by local brand marketing and public relations firm Lyerly Agency -- on property owned by the agency at 124 North Main Street -- the creative piece was designed and painted by mural artist HNin Nie, selected for her colorful and whimsical art style. HNin brought big, bright flowers and nature to life with her skillful talent, exemplifying Lyerly Agency's penchant for creativity in our approach to marketing, PR and more.Congrats ladies-looks great!
