Downtown Buena Vista: The mountains and people are what define this town for both the locals and the visitors. In essence, BV is a quiet mountain town nestled between the mountains, river and the sky.

     "Reaching Ever Upwards"    The mural/collage captures the character of the city in twilight. Elements of the mural honor the past and look to the future, while also standing firmly grounded in the present moment. Historic documents are integrated in the piece, key landmarks nestled into the landscape, and handprints from local children frame the mountains, river, and city.

    From Frey's own words:  The mountains and people define this town, both for ourselves and for visitors. In essence, BV is a quiet town nestled between the mountains, the river, and the sky. I created quite a few sketches to capture the mountains from the view of the floodwall, which offers a perspective on the town, the mountains and forest, and the river that it follows. After considering various ways of integrating and representing the community itself, I come up with an idea that I feel expresses the togetherness and forward looking spirit envisioned for the project while integrating beautifully with my vision for the mural.
