SUMMARY:
At their June 14, 2023, Special Meeting, the Public Art Commission selected a design for

approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 23-38 approving the wall mural

Pine Tree Park and authorize the Parks and Recreation Department to execute an
agreement with the artist.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon completion of the wall mural, the artist will be paid $8,000 from the Public Art Fund

CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This public art project is in accordance with Goal A of the Tustin Strategic Plan to
enhance the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods and areas of the community.
BACKGROUND:
At their April 19, 2023, meeting, the Public Art Commission selected the Pine Tree Park
Restroom Wall Mural as their first project for the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year. The project's
specific location is the side of the restroom wall facing Red Hill Avenue, approximately 100
square feet in size. The Commission also requested that staff contact artists who had
submitted proposals for previous public art projects to determine their interest in the Pine
Tree Park project.
A total of 27 artists expressed interest in the project and staff presented examples of those
artist's work at the Commission's May 17, 2023, meeting. After reviewing and discussing
these options, the Commission selected Laura Burris as the artist for the mural. Ms. Burris
then provided two concepts for the Commission's consideration at their June 14, 2023,
Special Meeting, and they selected a design depicting California flora and fauna (attached),

Tustin Public Art Policy, this selection is being forwarded to the City Council with a
recommendation for final approval.
Staff estimates that the Pine Tree Park Restroom Wall Mural will be completed in time for
the reopening of Pine Tree Park on Thursday, August 10, 2023.

Pine Tree Park Mural Concept Proposal - Summer 2023
Mural 1 - California Flora & Fauna
For Concept #1 1 went with a fun, playful representation of the flora & fauna native to the
coastal mountains of California - including the Western Rattlesnake, Coffee Fern, White -Tailed
Jackrabbit, and the Splendid Mariposa Lily.
The 2 palette options for this idea vary slightly, but the layout is the same. I referred to the
original palette from my Peppertree Park proposal but lightened it up to be a bit friendlier &
soothing with colorful muted tones, suitable for visitors of any age. With its dark background,
these colors will really pop. I want this imagery to be visually appealing from the street with
blocks of shape and color, drawing the eye into its details.
