The Coxhall Guild and Hamilton County Parks and Recreation (HCPR) have announced the addition of a mural under the Campbell Crossing Bridge at Coxhall Gardens.
Christina Hollering, an esteemed associate professor at Herron School of Art and Design, designed and painted a magnificent mural depicting native birds beneath the bridge.
Hollering, who holds both a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA), brings her extensive experience and artistic skill to this project. Her murals are expected to capture the beauty and diversity of the region’s avian life featuring a green heron, great blue heron, great egret, and sandhill crane, all native birds that can be seen at Coxhall Gardens.

“We are thrilled to have Christina Hollering lend her extraordinary talent to this project,” Coxhall Guild President Mary Robinson said. “The mural will be a stunning visual experience for park visitors.”
HCPR Director Chris Stice added, “This mural is a beautiful way to celebrate the rich biodiversity of our local wildlife, and will inspire a deeper appreciation for the birds that call this area home.”
The mural, located under the iconic Campbell Crossing Bridge, is set to be a significant addition to the park’s artistic landscape. It will serve as both an educational and inspirational feature, encouraging visitors to connect with nature through the medium of art.
Hollering also painted the Whispering Walls in the Children’s Garden area of the park last summer.
“We were very impressed with the Whispering Walls, so when she showed us the design for the bridge, we knew it would be a wonderful addition to the park, and we were on-board right away,” Robinson said.
The mural project was completed mid-August, and is located at Coxhall Gardens, 11677 Towne Road, Carmel, which is a public park. The Coxhall Guild and HCPR invites everyone to visit Coxhall Gardens to enjoy the new artistic addition.
