- I'm Jacqui Rosenbush.

I'm a mural artist and I'm here in Madison working on my mural called "Humming With the Earth."

(upbeat music) This is about my 10th mural of my own design.

I've been at it about 10 years and have had my hand in over 35 other projects.

So when I was designing this project, I was thinking about the new Grand Park, the instruments, the winding sidewalk, and the pollinator garden with the butterflies fluttering around.

When you walk down the sidewalk, they just become a cloud that surrounds you and it's the most magical thing.

(soft music) So I was very excited to be here painting and meeting people and I'm excited for what this mural will be as a community gathering place.

Kendra Kallevig is my assistant and she is an epic mural artist herself.

She and I have been working together for a long time on many, many projects.

And so I am just thrilled to have someone so talented working with me today.

- So the entire quilt pattern that's going behind the river and the crops and all of that jazz that was painted by the community onto these sheets of polytab, special mural fabric.

So we had these awesome paint parties over at the Mercantile and folks came through.

We gave them a paint-by-number and they just went to town and then we slapped it up, like, permanent wallpaper.

So it'll be there forever.

(uplifting music) - The hummingbird, not only is it a special pollinator, but it's this animal that is moving so quickly is always on the go is humming about.

And I like how this particular animal, though it's moving so quickly, it causes us to pause and notice it.

And it's a gentle reminder to all of us when we're humming about our business to pause and enjoy some of the lovely things.

It's great because I get to do this design work on my iPad and then I get to do painting stuff in the studio and then I get to be, like, a construction worker and, like, up on a lift.

It challenges me in all sorts of different ways and it also is a nice rhythm.

It's not always the same thing.

And so I'm always grateful for the journey within every mural that I make.

Just getting to meet so many different people in different communities and engage with the public in a meaningful way.

It's just one way I get to be involved in a lot of different communities.
