War Maps are five colorful murals depicting actual war maps of the Gulf War; the Vietnam Conflict; Korean Conflict; WW ll European Campaign; and World War ll Pacific Ocean Theater. Veterans and staff at the Michael J Fitzmaurice Veterans Home participated in the painting process of War Maps. While painting, veterans shared stories of their time in the military especially those who had served during those wars and conflicts.
Thank you to the South Dakota Arts Council, Artists In Schools & Communities Grant for my one week residency at the Michael J Fitzmaurice Veterans Home in Hot Springs South Dakota.
