JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP) held a ceremony Friday morning to unveil a new mural on the JEA pump station, under the Fuller Warren Bridge.
The 90-foot mural was painted by Patrick Maxcy, who began to work on it on Oct. 20.
Maxcy has named his work of art “Abundant Waters.”

News4JAX spoke to Maxcy back in October and explained the vision he had for the beautiful masterpiece.
“A lot of waves and things like that going on, but you will be able to see above the water and below the water in the St. Johns River,” he said. “There are going to be a lot of local wildlife, such as alligators, manatees, local birds, fish. Some fun little hidden things, like flora and fauna.”
The mural is on the JEA sewer pump station. That facility collects sewage from the Riverside area and sends it to the JEA treatment plant.

Greg Corcoran with JEA told News4JAX in October he knows a lot of people roam around the area due to things like the weekly Riverside Arts Market and consistent community events.
For that reason, he wants the new art to provide a visual explanation of why the St. Johns River is important to the area and thinks Maxcy is the perfect person for the illustration.
“We hope that it will be like an ‘Instagrammable’ type of place where people will come get pictures of it,” Corcoran said. “It really pops. You are really going to see from far away and from close up. There are going to be a lot of interesting details.”
