Artistic expression is a noble pursuit no matter where you live. Not only does it give one an effective outlet for personal expression, building an artistic community can help lead to the revitalization of a town or city. Here at Richard Stewart Painting, we always notice how a street or city block looks just a little nicer after a property benefits from our exterior painting services.
Rehabilitation through artistic expression can happen anywhere in our world. Just take a look at this article published by The Phnom Penh Post, which talks about how important painting an entire town has been to the efforts to clean up after some very damaging rainstorms.
Just north of the Cambodian capital city of Phnom Penh is a community known as Boeung Kak, which used to be a thriving center of tourism in that country before the Cambodian government’s decision in 2010 to fill in the 90-hectare lake, which had been such a tourist, draw until then. Not only has this decision hurt the local economy but it’s also increased the risks of flash flooding and damage from intense rain.
In response, locals are trying to regain their footing by building what they see as an “art village.” Along with engaging heavily in clean-up projects, many residents are painting murals and portraits on buildings all over the town. What might be seen as graffiti in many other places has been an effective means of revitalizing the community of Boeung Kak, and many new 
businesses have been flocking to the village over just the past few years.
Anyone’s business will pick up if customers notice that you’ve invested in your building’s appearance. The work of Richard Stewart Painting will help you stand apart from the crowd, even in the metropolis of Los Angeles.
