Dreamers of Dreams

Paintings in the Neighborhood Center of St. Mary the Lower Price Hill, "dreamers of dreams" shows an image of many houses, perched on a hill, like the neighborhood is. Within each house is a portrait in the foreground of a different face to represent the diversity of the community. The mural is painted in vibrant colors, bold patterns inspired mixed with Appalachian quilts and aprons that reflect the roots of the Appalachian community.

Above the mural is a sky of bright colors that catch the eye of the viewer upwards. A bird is perched on a roof, holding a scroll that says: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams," an important event for the community because he said that his future is in their own hands, and that they can influence and change Lower Price Hill. Along the bottom of the mural are many hands extended upward, fighting for a better future while showing support their community and their neighbors.
