The project is for the future Rex Cancer Center. I'm creating four pieces: one 4' x 6' mural and three colorful pedestals topped with birdhouses. My work was selected for its happy demeanor, and the pieces are going on the third-floor terrace to provide cheer and encourage patients after therapy. The site is at the corner of Macon Pond and Blue Ridge roads.
The mural will be Raleigh-centric, focusing on our city's flora and fauna. It will also feature our state's motifs; cardinals, bees, dogwoods, and maybe a pine tree. I've already got a giant oak in there with some super charming squirrels being squirrely. The more I work on it, the more excited I get. I want to include birds in flight and rest, with hope and peace being its central feeling.
