Name: How Now Flower Power Cow

Artist: Mike Greenwald

Location: The Shops at La Cantera

I’m an artist who is new to Texas by way of Cleveland, Ohio. I love painting big fiberglass animals! I’ve been involved with about twenty public art projects of this sort (giant guitars, Chinese Zodiac Animals, cows, pigs, dragons, etc.)! I’m grateful to be a part of the CowParade San Antonio and was able to paint two cows: How Now Cosmic Cow and How Now Flower Power Cow.

Both are representative of my public art style: bold, bright and colorful. I think public art works best when it is accessible to as broad an audience as possible. I try not to get too caught up in the details but like having little surprises for the viewer who takes the time to move in for a closer look.
