'Louise Jones (née Chen), aka Ouizi, is best known for large-scale floral mural installations like this gorgeous piece at 200 S. Ashley, commissioned by the Ann Arbor Art Center’s (A2AC) Art in Public program. The Detroit-based artist depicts site-specific plants and animals, and the techniques are uniquely informed by her education in drawing and printmaking. In 2020, one sculpture and 10 new murals were created by the A2AC Murals project around downtown Ann Arbor.'
