Description

My piano mural concept is an ode to one of Fort Collins’ prominent industries, breweries. Fort Collins is a unique place to live and creative industries, such as breweries, help it to thrive. The mural will clearly show three of the four main ingredients in making beer - specifically, hops, barley, and water. The fourth ingredient is yeast, and since it exists in the air around us, it will be represented in the music that fills the air around the piano as it’s being played.
