Charlotte-based muralist Johari Huggins painted a colorful crosswalk mural in Mount Holly. The mural, located on Rankin Avenue, features native plants and flowers inspired by the city's bee sanctuary designation. Huggins, who previously worked in graphic design, enjoys incorporating language into her public art.
