MEDITATION on “Their Survival is Our Survival” by Shawn Harrison
MURAL “Their Survival is Our Survival” by Jana Liptak
Brooklyn-based artist Jana Liptak utilized paint to evoke cross-stitch to stunning effect in her mural on the Twaalfskill firehouse. The artist depicted endangered species that live (or lived) in New York. Look for the Karner Blue butterfly, Piping Plover, Tiger Salamander, Regal Fritillary, Houghton’s Goldenrod, Eastern Mud Turtle, Swamp Pink, Snubnose Sturgeon, Prairie Fringed Orchid, Rusty Patched Bumblebee, American Burying Beetle and North Atlantic Right Whale.
