From Dragon Doodle to Panorama: How a Trumbull Student Painted the Coastal Center’s New Mural
Laura Bollert started the Coastal Center’s mural in the summer after her junior year at Trumbull High and finished it in early January 2014, during winter break as a sophomore at the University of Maine. Connecticut Audubon Society photo by Kaylee Weil.
January 9, 2015 – Laura Bollert had never even seen the Milford Point Coastal Center before her first day as a volunteer camp counselor in 2012.
She was a rising high school senior, and it seemed a good way to earn community service credits for graduation.
As that first day ended, other counselors were saying goodbye to campers they had just met or texting late afternoon plans to their parents. Laura was agreeing to paint a panoramic mural of Milford Point’s tidal marsh.
