"City of Champions: Football"

Summer of Work and Learning 2013

Outdoor mural 21ft x 54ft

While I love flowers, sports and portraits are always at the top of my list for favorite themes.  I was over the moon to get the opportunity to design a football themed mural with the Patriots and Brockton Boxers for this incredible wall.  It took me 4 years to get approval for this wall, and it was absolutely worth the wait!  It's located at the corner of Belmont and Main Street on The Money Market building (245 Main Street, Brockton, MA 02301). 

The mural's backdrop is Brockton High School's Marciano Stadium, including the 2 ton, 20ft statue of Rocky Marciano.  The mural includes Brockton standouts Greg McMurtry (top right) and Jason Vega (bottom left), both of which spent time with the Patriots.  Coach Colombo, the winningest coach in Massachusetts history over his 34 years with BHS, celebrates on the shoulders of his players.  He is flanked by Patriot legends and Super Bowl Champions, Tom Brady and Tedy Bruschi.  Gillette Stadium (top right) and one of the many state championship trophies (center) also appear in the mural.    

 I am so proud of my interns' dedication and hard work, and I had another amazing summer with Nan Shea. It's our biggest wall yet, 21.33' x 54' and required me to learn how to operate a scissor lift!  I'm excited to see what the 2014 Summer of Work and Learning has in store for us!
