Poonam Sharma, 2022
Painted Mural
This project is an initiative of the City of Burlington’s Celebrating Diversity through Public Art program. This mural seeks to create an uplifting design which brings positivity, and engages people from a variety of backgrounds, professions and histories. The folk-art elements reinforce the idea that we are all interconnected and that the strong spirit of people is integral to the health, happiness and success of our communities.
