Details

The flowers in Sonata Roja are peonies, chosen for their symbolism of love and passion. Incorporated throughout the mural are spontaneous splashes of paint and expressive mark-making, to reflect how music and art are never just one thing. A single sound can spark an entirely different style or interpretation—there’s beauty in that unpredictability and freedom. At the center is a woman lost in the swells of her playing. As a female muralist, Miss Birdy is passionate about creating strong, inspiring female figures for young girls to see and connect with, this figure standing as a symbol of all music and culture—someone who embodies the power, creativity, and diversity found in sound and self-expression.

Mandi “Miss Birdy” Caskey is a muralist, gallery artist, and community activist. Caskey chooses to place her attention on creating imagery that will force the viewer to look outside of their mental and emotional world. Using an array of different mediums, the artwork pulls itself away from the artist and takes a life of its own.

Caskey’s mural work tends to bleed into a fantasy world that organically takes over any environment and effortlessly changes the impact of a space. As a gallery artist, Miss Caskey enjoys painting quickly and freely in oils on wood that she cuts in her wood shop. The pieces tend to have more of a realistic tone, which brings balance creatively to the artist.
