Over Thanksgiving weekend, I went on a long-overdue Street Art Safari, wandering down to Freeman Alley, and then making my way back uptown via the First Street Green Art Park. Just outside the park’s First Street entrance, I spotted this amazing Pink Banana sculpture fastened to the concrete wall. The tag identifies the artist as Danana Tree, which is the street name of artist Dana van Vueren, whose specialty is making vibrant colored 3-D casts of bananas. According to an Instagram post, this Banana has been on the street since March! Dana also takes commissions. Follow / contact her on Instagram at @Dananatree.
