- Biographical Information
- The theme of this mural is that of wandering, wondering, knowledge, curiosity, a tree of enlightment for folks of all ages. The tree is growing well and strong, and all kinds of wonder is burgeoning from its branches, with some form of mystical realism. The setting is a night sky with visable plantes and stars, yet the tree lives with a window of daylight of blue sky and clouds behind it. There is a sense of magical wonder of why, what and where, one may ask. Two small figures carry a strawberry (that is larger than them) to gether, which gives the viewer a sense of abundance and cooperation to receive the treasures of this giving tree. The mural is surrounded by a black and white classical symbol based on the fleur de lys. (Wolfston, 2003)
