Dorothea Rockburne: An Artist at Work

In May 2009, Montreal-born American artist Dorothea Rockburne began work on a mural honoring General Colin Powell and his family, who are originally from Jamaica. The mural depicts the sky over Jamaica on the night General Powell was born. Rockburne painted the 40x16 foot mural on canvas at the Queens Museum of Art, New York in collaboration with EverGreene Architectural Arts, Inc.
