Wild Wonderland, 2018
Smalti glass mosaic mural
12' x 63'
Midtown Park, Houston, TX

Fabricated with Mosaika Art and Design Studios
Commissioned by Midtown Parks Conservancy

Wild Wonderland is an outdoor mosaic mural located at the southeast corner of Midtown Park in Houston, TX, at Main and Anita. The project celebrates Houston’s rich environment as a part of the new 6-acre community park in Midtown, Houston.

The 12' x 63' mural is crafted in Smalti glass tiles. Composed of Houston’s native flora and fauna found within 12 inches of the ground's surface. Viewers will find plants specific to the Texas gulf coast area in May: butterflies and caterpillars near their host plants, a bumblebee, and a hognose snake near a native toad. This mural creates a sense of wonder, fun and adventure by catching the eye from a distance, while providing areas of interest up close.
