Tiny Ducks Preschool
Local muralist Chelsea Lovejoy was commissioned to bring colorful artwork to the expanded Tiny Ducks Preschool in 2024. Now, the preschool is a wonderfully welcoming space filled with calming paint colors, playful murals, and natural elements that create a nurturing environment.
Welcome to Lane County, Oregon
Eugene artist Liza Mana Burns digitally created this stunning and detailed illustration of Lane County in 2025. The 25-foot-long mural, located in the lobby of Bob Keefer Center, was funded by Eugene, Cascades & Coast. In a new technology twist, this mural was printed directly onto the wall by the local company Surface Ink. There are many hidden items in the mural, making it an engaging piece to examine.
