Department of Art students complete large-scale mural in East Liverpool
August 1, 2022
Professor of art Dragana Crnjak and three former and current YSU art students—Rachel Hritz (B.F.A., ’22), Mia Mondora (B.F.A., ’22), and junior B.F.A. student Lindsay DeLullo—recently completed a large-scale mural located on Bradshaw Avenue in East Liverpool, Ohio. The mural was commissioned by East Liverpool Mayor and YSU alumna Greg Bricker.
Bricker reached out to Crnjak about the mural as part of his effort to renovate and redevelop the East Liverpool area.
The mural was inspired in part by the town’s history. Since pottery and ceramics played a large part in East Liverpool’s development, the artists included images of pottery with a bright color palette. The mural also features a steamship on the Ohio River and blossoming flowers, which represent the start of a new era for the city.
