Overview
Circle of Life was created for a Wildlife Sanctuary. 5 animals found in Orlando were selected to represent the refuge. the artwork is on the exterior wall of the welcome center reinforcing the mission of the sanctuary to, raise, rescue, rehabilitate, and re-release injured or orphaned Florida native species, and to provide education about respecting the environment.
Goals
This mural was created to promote the mission of the Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge Sanctuary. It is located on the exterior wall of the welcome center reinforcing the mission of the Center to, raise, rescue, rehabilitate, and -release injured or orphaned Florida native species, and to provide education about respecting the environment. The mural is dominant and offers an educational experience of what the visitors should expect inside the center.
Process
I gathered all of my glass and separated the colors. I enlarged the mural to a ten foot diameter and began designing each animal in the glass.
Additional Information
This project was exciting because I knew it expressed the awareness of a Wildlife Refuge Sanctuary in a beautiful and meaningful way.
