Sky Mural at San Diego State features Will of the Wind Kites

"Visual Therapy Sky Mural"

San Diego State University

Lauren Holland spent long hours in the SDSU Fitness Clinic receiving therapy. The room was so dull and uninviting that Lauren dreamed of creating something wonderful for future patients to be surrounded by. The idea for the "Visual Therapy Sky Mural" began to blossom in her mind.

The Faculty/Student Mentoring Program in the College of Arts and letters took the project on. Professor Iisdro D. Ortiz Ph.D. helped to raise funds and a whole host of volunteers joined in to help with the project.

The "Visual Therapy Sky Mural" is a child's dreamscape of a Pacific sky and sandy beach that runs the length of the 26-foot ceiling and continues onto the side wall.

Dozens of colorful kites and wind spinners from Will of the Wind added dimension and color to the uplifting theme. A few of the wide range the group selected are shown below with links to Will of the Wind's online catalog.
