  • Today’s mural features a crayon drawing by Necee Regis. Inspired by images of both stem cells and the cosmos, the microcosmic and macrocosmic elements of life share surprisingly visual connections.
  • Today's mural, Tender is the Night - Sunflower by Lidia Mikhaylova, examines the balance between darkness and radiance. Painted on silk with golden highlights, the sunflower rises boldly against a deep indigo sky.
  • Today's mural, Tour de Force by Christiane Corcelle, focuses on discovery and finds meaning through layers, colors, and marks. Corcelle builds her paintings slowly, letting her intuition guide the process.
  • Today's mural, Nuevo año, nueva yo (New Year, new you) by Missy Arellano, is an analog collage on paper with acrylic markers. Through this piece, Arellano processes the emotions of her brother's passing in 2017. She grapples with the notion that time is fleeting, but also healing.
  • Today’s mural features an encaustic painting by Ross Ozer that explores how rhythm, geometry, and color interact when pattern becomes a field rather than a single motif. Built from a grid of repeating quarter-circle forms, the composition uses rotation and color shifts to create a sense of continuous movement. While the structure is mathematically precise, the piece feels alive – its energy comes from the thousands of hand-applied wax dots that articulate every curve.
  • Today's mural features a sheep painting by Carolyn Letvin. She's been painting Jacob sheep since 2001. Since then, her paintings evolved and eliminated any identifiable background. The flat color accentuates the negative space of the composition.
  • Today’s mural features artwork by Julia Minichello of lilac bushes on her street in Brighton. Each spring, her roommate and friend Tara Lynch would collect the lilacs and bring them into their apartment, filling every room with fragrance and fun.
  • Today's mural, Polar Bear Effigy by Diane Fiedler, is a life-sized watercolor painting of a polar bear on an ice floe in Greenland. Shrinking sea ice threatens the future of this iconic endangered species. Photo by Tom Cochrane, painting by Diane Fiedler, and produced by Milbry Polk with the support of Adventure Canada. Watch a film of the installation here.
  • Today's mural by Karen M. Krieger blends her mixed-media ink painting, When Celestial Worlds Collide, with a photograph of birds migrating over the Outer Cape.
  • Today’s mural, Tempest by Michelle Brown, is both a narrative and landscape-based oil painting on wood. This piece is more imaginary, but inspired by the plein air paintings she makes in Acadia National Park.
