Mural Paintings by Rose Jaffe
The 8’x8’ mural celebrates immigrants, keeping families together, and breaking down all walls in the process. The monarch butterfly has become a symbol of migration as it travels from central to North America over serval generations. The piece was painted live over two days as part of 2018 Art + Architecture Weekend, and sparked fruitful conversation with a variety of folks.
