Kristin Pavlick’s Mural at Diamonds By Raymond Lee
In February 2020, Diamonds By Raymond Lee celebrated the completion of a large exterior mural by artist Kristin Pavlick. The project brought watches, cars, palm trees and classical imagery onto the showroom wall at 2801 North Federal Highway in Boca Raton.
Why We Commissioned the Mural
We wanted the exterior to reflect interests that already brought people to the store: jewelry, watchmaking, cars and local events. The idea was to create something that could be enjoyed from outside, not only by customers looking through the showcases.
The original article called it Boca Raton’s first large scale wall mural. We have removed that unverified citywide claim. Its importance to our showroom and the artist’s work does not depend on being first.
Planning and the Artist
Our account described discussing the proposal with Boca Raton’s Community Appearance Board before proceeding. The photographs of the presentation and meeting remain part of the project record. This is a history of our particular project, not guidance on today’s city approval requirements.
After meeting several artists, we chose Kristin for her approach to the concept and her ability to develop it collaboratively. The original story described her background in art education, her move to South Florida and her decision to focus on painting. We thank her for the time and care she brought to the mural.
From Mockup to Painted Wall
Kristin developed themes and a digital composition, then worked on the prepared wall using a lift, spray paint and brushes for details. The process took approximately three months according to our original account. The gallery shows the blank exterior, sections in progress and the finished composition.
An Art Night gathering took place during the work, with music, food and other artists creating pieces for visitors. It gave guests a chance to see the mural develop. Those photographs and recollections belong to the 2020 archive rather than a current event invitation.
The Imagery
A large watch, a car and palm trees connect the mural to the showroom and South Florida. The pointing hand adds the feeling of a vintage sign, while a softly rendered classical face gives the composition another layer. Bright colors contrast with black and white details and the building’s original surfaces.
The closing photographs place watches in front of the artwork, bringing the painted subject and the store’s collection together. They are part of the original project gallery, not current inventory listings.
Thank You, Kristin
The mural gave the building a distinct identity and created a setting for later community events and photoshoots. We are keeping the full photographic record here so visitors can see how it came together.
