In 2015, muralist Victor Ving and photographer Lisa Beggs packed their entire lives into a RV to create their artwork on the road full time. Since then, they have worked with over 65 communities across 28 states to paint their modern-day postcard attractions. Their nationwide project has the unique ability to attract tourism, providing support to nearby small businesses.

The ‘Greetings Tour’ creates timeless landmarks through public art. Using their classic large letter postcard style, they collaborate with communities to create meaningful murals that seamlessly weave together local culture, history, landmarks, and nature.
