The theme of my mural for the new McWillie School is Motion and Wonder. The school itself is a work of art and of love, a result of collaborative efforts on the part of many diverse members of the community. Their common desire was to provide the children with an environment that would open doors onto a beautiful world of learning and delight. I wanted my mural -- consisting of eight colorful paintings on stainless steel panels, and depicting children running through those doors -- to reflect the joy and wonder of learning which the new McWillie School promises to provide.
