The retro “Greetings From” murals across Central Oregon bring back fond memories of the postcards that were a huge hit with tourists in the mid-20th century. These playful murals are part of The Central Oregon Mural Trail and were created by Karen Eland and Katie Daisy for Visit Central Oregon. In this interview with Karen Eland, learn about the backstory of these fascinating murals; how are they created to withstand the test of time, what’s the inspiration for the murals, and how have they been funded. Armed with the inside scoop about these murals, you can tell your friends all about them when you post a selfie of you and your bicycle in front of one of these fantastic backdrops.
