GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A mural on Green Bay’s east side is bringing beauty and personal reflection to the community.
Green Bay Area Public Schools art teacher Candace Cole, along with 15 students, worked all summer designing and painting the “Guardian of Life” mural on the exterior wall of Jaguar Marketing, 1375 Cedar Street.
The mural, officials say, depicts a woman’s spirit which passes through her hair. The wind blows the strands of hair, swirling and dancing amongst the “Guardian of Dreams”; the dragonfly, as well as the “Guardian of Endurance and Beauty” of all individuals.
The young woman uses the wind to transcend and find her nest, perching once again in the soul of life amidst all its tranquility and peace.
“The text on the orange section tells about the meaning behind the mural,” Cole says. “We’ve had several people stop by and comment on the text, saying it reminds me of somebody that I have lost or it reminds me of something my mother always told me but I never listened. Now as an adult, it really hits home.”
Cole adds it was part of a summer school program, with Behr donating paint to the project.
