Doug Quarles, creator of dozens of murals in Tucumcari, dies of cancer at 72
Doug Quarles, creator of an estimated 50 murals — many along Route 66 — in Tucumcari, New Mexico, died of colon and rectal cancer last week. He was 72. Several muralists have followed in his footsteps in Tucumcari, but his efforts, starting in 2003, raised the city’s tourism profile and led the chamber of commerce to describe it as the “City of Murals.” It even prints a guide so visitors can seek out his artwork.
