Standing at the corner of Virginia Street and 1st Street in Downtown Reno, a vibrant utility box catches the eye of every passerby. This is the Sierra Nevada Sunrise, a stunning mural painted by local artist Maria Gonzalez in 2022. The artwork depicts the Sierra Nevada mountain range bathed in the warm glow of sunrise, with snow-capped peaks reflecting golden light and tall pine trees framing the scene. Maria spent over 40 hours transforming this ordinary electrical box into a breathtaking window to the natural beauty that surrounds Reno.
