“THE SINGING MURAL”
by CF Payne, Jenny Roesel Ustick, and ArtWorks
Cincinnati native C.F. Payne is an internationally renowned illustrator and caricaturist who’s work has appeared on covers of prominent publications like @Time Magazine, the “Molly” books of the American Girl series, and a series of postage stamps featuring famous singers. In 2011 Payne created a tribute to participants in Cincinnati’s rich cultural legacy, including a portrait of Leontyne Price, the first African American to become a leading artist for @MetOpera, performing the lead in Aida. Talented local artist and muralist Jenny Roesel Ustick was then tasked by Artworks Cincinnati with translating Payne’s artwork for the side wall of CET, the local PBS affiliate, on Central Parkway across the street from the city’s historic Music Hall—leading a team of three teaching assistants and 15 youth apprentices. @cfoxpayne @j_r_ustick @artworkscincy
