The City of Tempe has commissioned local artist Paige Reesor to create a signature artwork for the new Tempe EnVision Center. Tempe’s EnVision Center is a one-stop resource and resilience hub designed with the community to meet their unique needs and help individuals and families thrive in Tempe.

Reesor’s design integrates the theme “Boundless Opportunity” into a mural that transforms Tempe’s Mill Avenue Bridge and pathways into a metaphor for personal growth and exploration. Natural elements like cacti blend with abstract digital elements, merging Arizona’s landscapes with modern technology. Iconic landmarks like Hayden Mill and Mill Avenue Bridge anchor the scene, while vibrant colors and abstract forms echo the energy of Arizona sunsets. Human figures represent individuality and community, showing how personal potential is nurtured by collective support. The mural conveys that diverse paths to success are enriched by communal connections. Her hope is that every viewer who walks into Tempe EnVision Center sees their own potential with every doorway that is opened.

The painting is scheduled to start in October with completion by the end of the year.
