Second Yosemite Mural Joins Library Display
September 7, 2016
Yosemite Mural Display Expanded
A second stained-glass mural by artist William Poulson has been installed in the UC Merced Library. The mural, “Tissiack,” depicts Yosemite National Park in the fall, featuring a view of Half Dome during sunset.
Tissiack joins Poulson's winter-themed mural, “The Chief,” on the third floor of the library near Room 371. The murals are part of Poulson's Yosemite Mural Project, which showcases the park in each season. Both murals stand over 8 feet wide and 14 feet tall.
