Mural Dedicated to Our “Front-Liners”

 Mural Dedicated to Our “Front-liners”

SW Florida embraces, celebrates, and assists our military veterans. We owe a deep gratitude to the men and women who serve the American people, defend the nation, protect vital national interests, and fulfill national military responsibilities. Here in Florida, we have always felt the same way to those men and women who protect us within our borders; our first responders. When the infamous attack on 9-11 happened it was our Nation’s first responders who ran bravely into the towers. From that moment on our internal heroes became an extension of our heroes abroad. And then… 2020 happened. Once again life as we knew it changed. Suddenly, it wasn’t just the EMTs at the front line. Now every physician and nurse were working overtime to battle an invisible enemy that threatened our nation and the world. The role of doctor or nurse previously placed in the background of our battles was suddenly thrust to the forefront. As the entire country remained indoors to help flatten the curve, another spotlight was beamed onto another unsuspecting hero. That hero was role of teacher. Parents had to become teachers and Zoom aficionados in order for their children’s education to continue. The zoom classes opened the eyes of the nation as to what was actually being taught in the classrooms. That battle is still ensuing as each city and state realizes the importance of focusing on the content that is taught in schools. It’s not that we didn’t care before, we just weren’t paying attention. And all eyes are now on the teachers as they maneuver their way through the bureaucracy above them, the child in front of them, and the future ahead of us all.

To celebrate these endearing heroes, I was commissioned to create murals that embraces them all. The first of these murals is now complete. 

This mural is painted at Love Boat Ice Cream located 7977 Dani Dr Ft Myers, Fl

A red ribbon twines in and out across each icon. The left side is painted with emblems to represent each military branch:

Connecting the left side and right side is an American flag style ribbon:

The right features icon images representing first responders, as well as teachers:

Under the images is painted the text:

“Dedicated To The Men & Women Who Serve Our Country, Especially Those Who Have made The Ultimate Sacrifice”

The mural starts at 9 ft. off the floor and graces just under the flags that are hung throughout the space. It’s painted with acrylic and latex paints.

The next Front-Liners mural is in progress at Love Boat ice Cream in their downtown Ft Myers Location.
