The "City of Four Seasons Mural" by Diamond Cash (101 E. Allen St.)

This episode features the “City of Four Seasons” mural painted by Diamond Cash. Hendersonville is known as the city of four seasons because of its consistent temperate weather. Residents here enjoy the pleasures of each season without having to experience the extremes that can come with each of them in other parts of the world.

Artist and photographer Diamond Cash created the City of Four Seasons mural for her hometown of Hendersonville, NC. From an early age, Diamond has always had a talent for photography, painting, and drawing. She has a B.A. in Studio Arts from UNC Greensboro. She is passionate about teaching art and believes she can teach anyone who is willing to learn. Diamond’s work has been featured in several magazines, and she has been commissioned by Hendersonville to create several significant public art projects.

It includes two hands clasping in front of the Rainbow flag signifying diversity and inclusion. The name of the town hovers over well-known symbols of the city. As a “Bee and Tree” city, images of both feature prominently. Since bears are a symbol of Hendersonville, two of them lounge at either edge of the scene. The town is very famous for its apples and other delicious veggies. And last but not least, an acoustic guitar highlights the rich musical heritage of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Diamond tells how she conceived the design for the mural and how she made it come to life.
