Larger than Life
Murals are an amazing way to bring communities together, promote the arts, and inspire students! I was selected by Minneola Artworx to paint a mural for an installation on a local trail here in Florida. Here’s a little snippet of what I shared with that team when I pitched the project:
"When we moved from Michigan over 12 years ago, our oldest was about 18 months old. It wasn’t long before he homed in on his new favorite bird: the anhinga (aka “water turkey” / “snake bird”). He loved to watch their snake-like neck and head sneak out of the water, and spotting them drying off after an eventful round of fishing in Lake Minneola is something we’ve been enjoying as part of this community for years. So, a portrait of an anhinga felt like a fun way to capture a special aspect of day-to-day life here."
