Déa Self’s Giant Mural Debuts in Fayetteville | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Fayetteville artist Déa Self just unveiled her biggest mural yet — a vibrant, nature-packed masterpiece on the side of the iconic Dickson Street Bookshop. Featuring her signature whimsy with herons, button bushes, and sneaky catbirds, the piece honors the bookshop’s late owner Don Choffel with a red-winged blackbird tribute. Despite battling heat, a twisted ankle, and self-doubt, Self poured her soul into the project, capturing quiet mornings before the crows took flight. And it’s not over — she’s got plans to expand the mural with even more flora and fauna as temperatures drop, turning the block into a living, breathing gallery of color and charm.
