The goal was to interpret these kinetic elements into a static form that interacts with the wall as opposed to a rectangular rigid design, just as a performer interacts with their audience. The electricity seems to permeate through anyone in the vicinity of the source, creating a sense of inspiration. Live music showcases the energy and movement of the performers, as well as the crowd. With music being heard not only at the North Second Tap and Bottle Shop, but also across the street at the beautiful Riversedge Amphitheater, this mural amplifies the musical mood of the area and creates a visual marker of what this specific part of Hamilton is all about.

The concept of "service above self," on which Rotary is founded, creates a strong community full of peace, growth and hope, as expressed through this design's strong symbolism. The curved archways surrounding Hebe deepen the connection to classical Greek art, and the right arch is engraved with the word "Incrementum," which is Latin for "growth." The gear symbols are included to represent the influence of the Rotary Club of Hamilton as the inner workings of the community the support system which inspires Hamilton to blossom. Flanking the statue are peace lilies, which connect with the doves on both the left and right side as a repeated symbol of peace. “Incrementum" depicts Hebe, the Greek goddess of Spring, as a central figure that pays tribute to the statue that will adorn the landscape in front of the mural.

Mural Location: First Financial-Max Stacy Flowers building (350 High St.) The expansive field serves as a historical nod to the landscape of the area as it would have existed when Native American groups occupied the site around Fort Hamilton.
Trees, grass, and flowers communicate the idea of a flourishing community while referencing the tree-line neighborhood of Prospect Hill. The hands also represent the way Telhio redistributes income back to its members and the community, with water flowing to signify growth and prosperity. The hands extending into the composition from the roof level are rendered in grisaille to communicate the idea of stone, a strong foundation on which to build. Compositional elements used in the design are inspired by Art Deco rendering traditions that were prevalent in the artwork of 1930’s, when the Credit Union was founded, as well as the architecture throughout the City of Hamilton. The concept of this design was inspired by Telhio's ideals of caring, commitment and integrity. Supporting Artists: Kinsey Downs and Taylor Helms Mural Location: Telhio Credit Union (601 Park Ave.) Cultivating Community Completion Date: Summer 2021
