Bringing the Outside In

This public mural was created during COVID at the library I work at.

It was during a time when very few people were able to come into the library. As I prayed about the mural submission for our playroom, I found myself drawing nature. The idea of bringing the outside in grew into a peaceful palette filled with life into the space. From drawing the projected image onto the wall to its completion I got to pray for our patrons. It was humbling to pray and create a space that represented His creation to families using the room.

I posted videos on our library social media accounts to share the process with everyone who missed coming in.
