The Butterfly Effect

Check out Lyndale’s own version of the Butterfly Effect. These butterflies were recently painted by local artist Sarah Steed on Kim Couch’s duplex on 35th and Pillsbury. Steed said she “loved painting Kim’s house. It was one of my all time favorite projects. He’s a wonderful neighbor and a joyful person. My goal was to make the butterflies a reflection of who he is and spread that joy to everyone who sees them.”

Kim was equally excited about the project and talked about how easy it was to work with Sarah and “how often people will stop & talk to me when I am in the front yard & thank me for beautifying their walk around the neighborhood.” He also said the inspiration for the butterflies was the Walldogs project and the impact he saw from creating public art.

Lyndale Website

The LNA website is currently under going some exciting changes. As you can see by the comment section and post times, the site is moving more towards more of a blog site model. We’re doing this to make it easier to keep the site update with the latest on what’s happening in the neighborhood. We’re hoping to have a full roll out in early January. During this transition time please drop us a line and let us know your ideas and what you think of the changes.

You can reach the web team at webinfo@lyndale.org.
