International mural artist Gaia, based in Baltimore, depicted the ancient Greek goddess Artemis ascending from a limestone quarry with a skyline of New York City on the horizon and a Corinthian crown on her head. The mural references Kingston’s proximity to the natural resources that helped build New York; the process of resource exploitation as a defiling of Mother Earth; and marble and limestone used for architectural embellishments in early Neoclassical revival / Georgian style architecture. The statue represents Mother Earth and is a Hellenistic/ Roman reference to the celebration of democracy in early United States history.
