Congratulations to 2023 North Dakota State Delegate Tobias Zikmund on the completion of his mural! Murals and public art breathe life into our communities, turning ordinary spaces into vibrant canvases that tell stories, celebrate culture, and inspire creativity. They spark conversations, beautify neighborhoods, and create a sense of identity and belonging. Keep up the great work!
My mural in Park River, ND, is completed. It measures in at nearly 10’ tall by 18’ wide! The mural is titled "Strawberry Quilt." The structure, with its two-tiered block-like border and interior panels, is inspired by quilt construction and local quilt-making traditions. The strawberry imagery reflects a cherished garden product and popular home decoration motif. The design’s familiar structure, lush colors, and garden references combine to conjure up comfort, sweet memories, and warm days in the sun. The mural is a win all around; it’s personally exciting, culturally relevant to Park River, and attractive to all audiences and ages. It was a joy to design and install this mural, adding new color and excitement to Park River’s downtown.
