the project along with concept art. She
then fi nalized the art and presented it
to the parks board, art commission, and
city council. The entire process ended up
taking longer than she realized, but once
everything was fi nal, it became time for her
to start the project.
One of the biggest struggles Biondi
faced was her canvas. The wall she painted
belonged to the restrooms by the play-
ground which are made of brick.
“Before I started working on the mural,
I questioned if it was even possible for a
mural to look any good on a surface like
Biondi working on a portion of the mural.
that,” Biondi said.
However, she continued her project
until it was fi nished and was happy with
the outcome. Biondi looks forward to her
future in art and hopes to do more murals
in the future. She encourages artists to
look for art-related opportunities locally
and to get started in doing commissions.
“Getting your name out there can be
daunting, but what I’ve learned from work-
ing on the mural is that there are tons of
people within the community that truly
appreciate artists and their contributions
to the community,” Biondi said.
