Grand Forks Muralist Nears 150 Murals Painted After Dolly Parton Tribute
The mural brings Archer to 148 in Grand Forks as he nears a goal of 150 and says the town’s support keeps him painting.
- Artist Paul Archer recently completed a tribute mural to the late Dolly Parton on the back wall of the Misty Mountain music store in Grand Forks, marking his 148th work in the city.
- He arrived after hearing about the town's flood and decided to stay, continuing to paint murals to help bring back tourism. Grand Forks has since become his primary sketchbook.
- His creative drive began at age 5, and by 15 he worked as a roadie, eventually painting backdrops for bands like Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper.
- Accompanied by his dog Lannah, Archer finds deep connection with Grand Forks residents who bring treats and watch him work, contrasting with his experiences painting murals in Vancouver.
- With 148 murals now finished, the painter nears his goal of 150, having completed 33 on his first run and 30 more the following year to support the community.
