Artist Statement: 

This mural represents the potential in every student with the symbolism of the missile launching the students’ academic career. The Lompoc hills are alive with the state flower as the sunsets on her career in academia. She moves into an exciting yet unknown endeavor just like the missile carrying a satellite into space. 

The student wears a red shirt of the Fire Academy and blue slacks to represents the Police Academy. 

The college is represented by the blue and yellow as I wanted to pay homage to my  alma mater.
