A talented Granada guest

Visiting us right now, here in Granada, Nicaragua, is Spokane-based artist Katherine Staib Derrick.

She's an old friend of the Building New Hope team having already visited once before and completed the masterpiece featured above in the Art Beat blog. Her visit has also prompted interest from her local paper the Spokesman Review.

She's here, this time, to paint the walls of the new CafeChavalos. Currently, the designs are about to be transferred from paper to plaster.

Watch this space for more details of her progress and for pictures of the murals as they take shape.

In the meantime, you can find out more about Katherine and her talents via her own website.
