The mosaic at the entrance of Lake Forest’s arts and activities center, Stirling Hall, recalls the Colonial American shop signs, which announced the goods that were produced inside. Represented in the center of the mural are the tools and products of the artist, while the top and bottom remind us of the studio’s location in the woods. Artists of all ages were involved in the creation process.
