  • Today's mural features a photograph by Pamela Naab of a hummingbird in flight. Naab draws her inspiration from animals and the natural world. She found that noticing often overlooked details through photography is incredibly healing. Whether biking or running in nature, she brings along her camera to take pictures of landscapes and animals.
  • Today's mural, In Bloom by Meghan Mirasolo, explores spring as a moment of both clarity and disorientation when life reemerges so vividly. The image captures flowering branches at peak bloom, but through chromatic shifts and doubled forms, the scene resists being purely serene or decorative. Instead, it reflects the sensory intensity of renewal: light feels sharper, color feels louder, and the world seems to pulse with motion.
  • Today’s mural, Tree Cats by Jackie Powell, is a gouache and digital study of a tree with mysterious ghost-like cats. Originally, this was a simple study of a tree Powell found in a nearby park, but the painting was missing something.
  • Today's mural, The Quiet Season by C.J. Lori, is a landscape painting that serves as a metaphoric portrait. By identifying with the environment, Lori hopes that people are more likely to appreciate its significance and fragility.
  • Today is World Press Freedom Day, and we're honoring the fundamental principles enshrined in the First Amendment of freedom of the press and the importance of independent media. Today, we also honor journalists who lost their lives.
  • Today's mural, In the Garden of Possibilities by Paula Borsetti, envisions serene environments in a world that seems to be spiraling out of control. For Borsetti, her artwork is something she can control. Her work is intuitive, guided by the surface and materials.
  • Today's mural by Christine Palamidessi celebrates women runners. In 1967, Katherine Switzer hid her gender in order to enter the Boston Marathon. Along the way, race managers assaulted her and tried to rip off her 261 bib number because women were not allowed to participate. Switzer finished the race in 4 hours and 20 minutes. The path paved by Switzer accommodated eight women who officially ran the Boston Marathon in 1972. Later on, women were permitted to run the marathon in the 1984 Olympics.
  • Today's mural, Holding on to Humanity by Laura Buscemi, is a digital illustration that highlights maintaining human connection. In a digital world, people sometimes lose touch with reality. Through her art, Buscemi enjoys incorporating qualities of human touch with her mark-making and subject matter.
  • Today's mural, Frog's Eye by Tara Bilotta, gets up close and personal with nature. "This piece serves as a reminder of the great things we can learn from other beings and how special it is to be face-to-face with them," Bilotta says.
  • Today's mural, Swans in Emerald by Adèle Patnaude, approaches nature from a place of feeling rather than documentation. Two swans float closely together across green-blue water, their mirrored shapes suggesting balance, devotion, and ease. The surrounding emerald tones hint at dense foliage, creating a feeling of privacy, as though the moment is unfolding unseen. The swans are rendered with soft, layered brushstrokes, emerging naturally from the water rather than standing apart from it.
