Hitnes: Master Muralist Workshop

Since July, the famous Italian muralist, Hitnes, has traveled throughout the nation working on The Image Hunter. This project consists of loosely retracing the route of John James Audubon spending time observing birds in nature and then painting the results in murals across the country. His quest brought him to Lexington this October. Pictures of the workshop to paint a mural at the UK Ecological Research & Education Center are shown above.
