The Barn Project is a mural.

Well, two large murals actually. And they are painted on panels which will are mounted and fastened to a barn in West Layton, Utah.

This is technically my Graduate Thesis project for the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and my little family has recently moved to Utah to continue working on it. The entire project has been in the works for over three years, and was officially completed and mounted on the barn structure in the Fall of 2007.

 

 

So, here's the WHY: Generations of our family and countless others have worked the land in this valley, and there is such a great need to pay homage to their faith and diligence. They never became wealthy, but they have left us a heritage of hard work and trust in God that is worth more than any posession. I seek to honor that.

There is so much to share regarding the project, which is why I have created six special sections here in 'newstuff' (below) so that I can give those interested an idea of the project's scope. If you have comments or questions, please contact me.

Thank you to all who have helped with this amazing project.

We have been so blessed by the selfless efforts of so many. I sincerely hope that each of you feel a very real connection to the barn, and that you come back often to feel the spirit of what you have helped to make a reality.
