Puffin Foundation West has given a grant to artist, JANE KIM, to help fund her exceptional project entitled THE MIGRATING MURAL. Her work so poignantly demonstrates our belief that Meaningful Art can and does convey messaging and personifies that artists can peaceably transform our society through their craft. This project embodies many ideas that help us work towards a positive planet. The Migrating Mural is a series of murals along the migratory routes of some of the Earth’s most majestic creatures.This grant will follow California’s Long Horned Sheep. Animal migrations are one of the most remarkable behaviors of the natural world, yet they often go unnoticed, even when they take place near centers of human civilization. The purpose of the Migrating Mural is to expose the public to endangered, elusive, and transient animals that otherwise go unseen. It highlights animal migration routes while beautifying human migration routes and catalyzes both wildlife conservation and public art. Henry David Thoreau once said, “The traveler must be born again on the road, and earn a passport from the elements.” The Migrating Mural honors this difficult journey and the animals that endure it.
