DOSE and Hector Ruiz MuralIf you haven’t been to the St. Francis lately, chef/owner Aaron Chamberlin has something new on the menu at this Central Phoenix stunner. Well, technically, it’s something new on the walls.

Handcrafted by by Hector Ruiz and Phoenix graffiti artist DOSE, St. Francis is now wrapped in a series of bold, distinctive urban landscape murals.

At St. Francis, Ruiz, an authentic Mexican/Kickapoo painter and sculptor, and graffiti artist DOSE have collaborated this time to create their latest piece that is full of vibrant colors and strong graphics associated with Graffiti art. The mural will be on permanent display at the upstairs mezzanine area inside St. Francis.

“It’s funny how things come full circle. When we first acquired this space, the building had been vandalized and there was less inspiring graffiti we removed during the renovation. Now St. Francis will have a piece of grafffi-like are created by a true visionary that the whole city can enjoy, “ said Chamberlin.
