This mural is dedicated to both Book Worms, the book club I Co-President with one of my dearest friends, and to the library itself, which inspired me to read more, to discuss my love of books and stories with others, and helped me further involve myself in my college’s community.
The Paul M. Scott Library is a place where people come to be inspired, to be cared for, and to find joy in the ever fascinating world of books. I sought to give the gift of artwork to this library, in return for all that it has given me.

Edible Bread Sculptures
The artist is an avid baker, and often makes a variety of foods from scratch. They have recently incorporated this skill into their practice as they began hosting events and feasts. The artist seeks to use these events as a means of connecting with people, and creating positive experiences for those who attend.
“Sharing food is very similar to making artwork for others to view, as it offers a way to connect with people on a fundamental level.” - Marissa Rappaport
