A mural project was proposed by the Friends of the Yachats Commons. It was awarded supporting grants from the Oregon Communities Foundation and the Lincoln County Cultural Colition. The mural drew its images from a set of workshop that I presented to 120 students at Waldport High School, Crestview Elementary School, the YFAAP preschool and after school programs. The theme was the primal elements; earth, water, fire and air. I encouraged simple images,showing photos of plants, animals of the land and sea, and asked for self portraits in action. I also showed examples of the graphic from the Eel River Salmon Project, petroglyphs, and paintings by Keith Harring and Glenn Berry.
