West Virginia is full of natural beauty , from its mountains and rivers to its lakes and hollows , but another aspect of the state ’ s beauty lies in its art , history and culture . As social media inspires many aspects of our daily lives , West Virginia Executive wanted to highlight just how Instagram-worthy the Mountain State is with a showcase of its murals . Traveling to West Virginia ’ s towns and cities and capturing the perfect photo to post can be a fun , safe and socially distant activity that exposes visitors and natives alike to the regional art scene . The state boasts more than a few hidden gems in the form of gorgeous murals depicting history and daily life and celebrating what it means to be Almost Heaven .
This vibrant mural is part of the “ Monsters ” series by artist Patch Whiskey .
