Project Description
“Grasslands” was created during a day-long painting event for the community room of the Grasslands Homeless Shelter in Valhalla, New York. In the interest of uplifting and encouraging residents of the shelter, the mural features a quote by author Maria Robinson. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anybody can start today and make a new ending.” Since it was created in a single day by volunteers, the artists developed a simple yet engaging design. Three faces are depicted in front of a colorful background, illustrating a smile emerging.
