Will Heron The work of born-and-raised Dallasite Will Heron (or ‘Wheron,’ or @w_heron) can be found all over the Metroplex: at Local Coff ee and along West Davis Street in Oak Cliff ; downtown Plano; Inspiration Alley in Fort Worth; and many more places to come. Known for his playful signature style and fi gures like plants, cacti, skulls, skeletons, lightbulbs and more, he’s scaled back his hours as a full-time high school art teacher while the street art/mural business has picked up.
