The Veridic Gardens of Effie Leroux, Joe Sorren, 2000; Heritage Square
Arizona native Joe Sorren has contributed many pieces of public art in Flagstaff, particularly the 40-foot by 30-foot mural on the exterior of the Old Town Shoppes on Heritage Square. The Veridic Gardens of Effie Leroux was completed in September 2000 after nine months of work. The magical, dreamlike pond and picnic scene features Effie Leroux as its centerpiece. Leroux is a fictitious character who Sorren describes as an early 20th century philanthropist who created “veridic” gardens as “peaceful places for people to experience with all five senses the possibility of a fuller life.”
