Keeper of the Nest

This mural depicts a barefoot woman (Modeled by the artist Wing Chow) standing tall against a vivid sky-blue backdrop, framed by the warm glow of a sun-like circle and the powerful wings of a swallowtail butterfly. She embodies a modern dryad—an earth spirit—offering both strength and care. In her left hand, she cradles a nest of an Eastern Bluebird, symbolizing nurturing and protection. A single bluebird rests on her right hand, poised at her throat chakra, representing the power of a strong, clear voice grounded in harmony with the natural world.

She rises from a vibrant cluster of irises that anchor her to the earth, bridging the human and natural realms. Hidden among the petals, a small mouse peeks out—a subtle nod to Walt Disney, who once ran his first animation studio from a broom closet in this very building.

Together, these elements weave a message of stewardship: a call to protect what is fragile, speak for what is voiceless, and remember our deep responsibility to the earth we share.
