  • Intermedia MFA Student, Ryan Guerrero Conducting Two-Day Mural Painting

    Posted July 25, 2011

    Ryan Guerrero, Master of Fine Arts in Intermedia student, who received his B.A. in Studio Art from UMaine, will conduct a two-day mural painting project in downtown Orono and on campus July 26-27 as part of his graduate thesis.  Guerrero will spray paint the murals with a Maine theme on four plywood panels forming a 16-foot-wide by 8-foot-tall canvas.  “The audience can expect to see how graffiti/street art can be used in a positive way within a community as well as educating others who are unfamiliar with the art form, showing that it can help beautify the area and its surroundings,” Guerrero says. “Plus, it’s interesting to have conversations with people that would stop and ask questions about what I was painting or give compliments. It makes people’s minds curious as to what I’m painting, and there’s the enjoyment of seeing someone finish the piece, especially when you watch it from start to end.”
