Description

The expanded latex painting, located at Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Funeral Home (also known as the Portland Memorial Mausoleum Chapel; 6705 Southeast 14th Avenue) covers approximately 43,485 square feet across eight surfaces and is among the largest murals in the United States. It is visible from the Springwater Corridor and Interstate 5 and was funded by the Public Art Murals Program and private donors.[1]

According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, the mural "highlights the importance of the 160-acre Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge to the city of Portland's quality of life, the contribution of the wetland system as a critical element of the city's green infrastructure, and its contribution to maintaining biodiversity in the city and metropolitan area".[1]
