This was a collaborative project using students ideas and visions to reflect their surroundings and environment. I created this mural with local high school students for the National Park science building at the Schoodic Educational Center. "

In my work it is very important to get a feel of texture and recognize color and shadows. This is where my inspiration came from to create this piece."
