"Vision of Hope // 2022-2023

---

This five-month long project originally started as a six-week long project. My Contemporary Studio Practices class was tasked with developing and making a mural which was to be permanently installed inside of Watkins Hall at Winona State University.   The mural, which is eight feet tall and twenty feet long, painted on masonite panels, is meant to be a simple landscape painting of Winona's Levee Park which was planned to be finished in only a few short weeks. My class, which consisted of 15 people and our professor, quickly found out that this was a far larger undertaking than what we initially planned for. Countless days were spent working on and developing the mural until we ultimately finished it far after the end of the fall semester. Once we had finally come to the end of the project, we had an opening showcase of the mural to the public. It is now hung on the wall near the rear doors inside of Watkins Hall at Winona State University.
