 Family-Friendly Activities

Attendees at the NWC Fine Art

& Artisan Fair are invited to 

show their talent in an inter-

active community mural

project.

This painting will be broken down into 216 8"x 8" sections for  visitors to paint from a sample.

Each completed section will be

stapled to the wooden frame

and eventually the entire

painting comes to life.  

This year's selected mural painting "Hope Replaced Fear" was created by artist Lindsay Jones

Hope Replace Fear Lindsy Jones.png

Lindsay Jones is a Springfield, Illinois based artist. Her artistic journey began when she was introduced to watercolor through a course nine years ago. Painting became a refuge and a way to ease anxiety. In 2016, she started her own watercolor business named “Drenched in Peace”. Her painting "Hope Replaced Fear" was also selected as the community mural displayed at the Illinois State Museum. Her vision is to incorporate her art into pillows, wallpaper and other home decor.  "I want to show my four kids not to give up on a dream and vision--that life is all about living and investing in people."
