Abstract: The purpose of this project is to bring positivity through a 12 foot by ten foot mural of the sun on Third St. in the town of Pembroke, NC. Depite all the negativity in the world, it is important for us to remember that there can always be some light. This mural is intended to be enjoyed by everyone who sees it including those who live in Pembroke, those who attend UNC Pembroke, and anyone who visits the town. Within this mural, there are also tributes to the Lumbee people who are indigenous to the Pembroke community. The importance of this project is to give art to the public, giving everyone an equal opportunity to enjoy this piece of artwork no matter age, race, gender or socio-economic town. This mural is intended to be a gift to the town of Pembroke. Due to unforeseen circumstances, as of May 6, 2020, the mural is not complete and there will be more added to this painting in the upcoming months.
