Not every school is graced with an Ed Trask mural but our local school has one and helped paint it.

Ed Trask is well known for his murals. They grace many a building, home, and restaurant throughout the city. Recently one of our local schools got to add their name to the list and even more impressively this was done as a collaboration with the students at the school.

Last year during a Westover Hills Elementary School “Art Night”, Trask created the framework of the murals with a paint by number scheme. Participants of the Art Night were able to contribute to the painting. Ed Trask took the painting back to his studio were he added some finishing touches and then helped getting up near the entrance to the school. Paige Holbert (WHES parent) was the driving force behind organizing it with artist Ed Trask and it came out looking spectacular.
