A WALK THROUGH TIME
Working with local historian and ecology specialists in the city, Jeremy Nichols’s design incorporates images from Tigard’s past. The mural depicts a member of the Kalapuya tribe (the indigenous inhabitants of the area) alongside native flora and fauna, including Red-tailed Hawk, Western Painted Turtle, Great Blue Heron and Oregon Iris and Camas flowers. Nichols hopes that the mural will raise awareness about the original inhabitants of the Tigard area, as well as the local ecosystem. It is important to create a mural that will stay relevant and be enjoyed by generations to come. Jeremy wanted to create a design that steps away from the norms of ‘traditional cultural’ murals and create a design with a more contemporary approach that is equally informative and significant.
This mural was approximately 25’x175’ completed using spray paint.
